June '19 Pick
The Cactus
Sarah Haywood
For Susan Green, messy emotions don’t fit into the equation of her perfectly ordered life. She has a flat that is ideal for one, a job that suits her passion...
From Our Book Lover-In-Chief
If you like Eleanor Oliphant...this is basically like Eleanor’s second cousin.. a love triangle that just kept me guessing until the very end.
I’m so excited to announce that our first book pick of the summer is “The Cactus” by Sarah Haywood. This title is a perfect metaphor for Susan who is a single, regimented woman faced with an unexpected pregnancy as she navigates a difficult family inheritance issue at the same time. I found myself laughing out loud at Susan’s prickly character as she finds herself in a love triangle, navigating family ties and dealing with 9 months of pregnancy at the age of 45. Hope y’all love Susan as much as I do!
