I bought this book because it reminded me of another book I absolutely adore, "The Garden of Small Beginnings" by Abbi Waxman. I wasn't as impressed with "The Cactus" as I thought it was going to be. I liked Susan, but she had the tendency to get stuck in loops of doing things that didn't serve her. I'm glad I read this book, though.

Splendid read written in impeccable British-English sprinkled with that sweet and dry British humour! I LOVE IT! Meet the protagonist of the sweeping story, Susan Green aka Suze, a 45-years old pregnant single. Every aspect of her life is marked by her judgmental, black or white thought pattern. There is certainly no room for irrationality in her life. Well, except for the fact that life has its own plans that she cannot control.
