A Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times Bestseller

“Fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine will love The Cactus.” —Red magazine

An unforgettable love story that shows sometimes you have to embrace the unexpected.

Susan Green is like a cactus: you can't get too close. She likes things perfectly ordered and predictable. No surprises. But suddenly confronted with the loss of her mother and the unexpected news that she is about to become a mother herself, Susan’s greatest fear is realized. She is losing control.

Enter Rob, the dubious but well-meaning friend of her lazy brother. As Susan’s due date draws near and her world falls further into a tailspin, Susan finds an unlikely ally in Rob. She might have a chance at finding real love and learning to love herself, if only she can figure out how to let go.

"I found myself laughing out loud." —Reese Witherspoon

Better near the end

It’s too bad this story is much better toward the end. I found it hard to read for a long time- but stayed with it, and it really got so much better. I wish the author many successful books.

The Cactus

Honestly I hated this book in the first half, Susan is very unpleasant. I decided to stick it out and continue reading, then it clicked when Rob talked about blossoming cactuses. Susan is the cactus that blossomed in the novel. It was actually pretty cute in the end. Her life experiences make sense why she is the way she is, and I’m glad that was elaborated.
Only 4 stars because I didn’t like that she drank half a bottle of wine while pregnant. Maybe let’s not do that.

Worth allowing yourself to read through this!

While I admit in the beginning I was almost put off by main characters personality and idiosyncrasies I quickly discovered the root of where they came from and learned to love, admire and respect this woman! How strong willed and successful she became despite the odds of her childhood and family dilemmas
