The Cactus
Ikhtisar
In this witty and heartfelt debut, one woman’s unconventional journey to motherhood means learning to embrace the unexpected
Even the prickliest cactus has its flower…
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 for logic and an “interpersonal arrangement” that provides cultural and other, more intimate, benefits. But suddenly confronted with the loss of her mother and the news that she is about to become a mother herself, Susan’s greatest fear is realized. She is losing control.
When she learns that her mother’s will inexplicably favors her indolent brother, Edward, Susan’s already dismantled world is sent flying into a tailspin. As Susan’s due date draws near and her family problems become increasingly difficult to ignore, Susan finds help and self-discovery in the most unlikely of places.
Featuring an endearing cast of characters and tremendous heart, The Cactus is a poignant debut and a delightful reminder that some things can’t be explained by logic alone.

Ulasan
Susan was one of the most delightful characters I’ve encountered in a long time.
Enjoyable audiobook , loved the British accent. Interesting story.
This starts out a little slow but hang in there! It’s worth the listen!
Interesting story. The relationship between the siblings is interesting. Leaves lots of space to imagine the feelings of the characters.
I read it even though it was on Reese
“don’t you know who I am? “ witherspoon’s list. I should have known better. Pretty formulaic.

One of the most delightful books I’ve read in a very long time. Love the main character so much and the narration was excellent!
This is an odd book in that Susan, the main character, is so mind numbingly logical and pragmatic it's hard not to be irritated with her, but in the end she's grown on you and you find you liked the story somehow.
Almost gave up on this story as it seemed to take a long time to develop and the main character was so negative that it bothered me. I read a few reviews and decided to give it a chance. I ended up really enjoying the story and fell in love with the main character. Lots of twists and unexpected turns.
I loved this. Didn’t expect to when people compared it to Eleanor Oliphant which I didn’t like. This book kept my interest and made me laugh numerous times. I was sad to finish it.
I enjoyed the characters, and the emergence of Susan. Also the book was cleverly narrated.
The main character was exhausting! This was an interesting book.
Entertaining book with an ending with a twist I didn’t expect.
It was funny and unexpected . I nice change yet similar to Sophie kinsella.
