“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

At least Eleanor Oliphant had some redeeming qualities

She was incredibly self-centered, and I felt nothing for her. I wanted as far away from Susan as possible.

Great read!!

You’re taken on a journey and as events transpire you find yourself rooting for the best interests of Susan and cringing at what she’s saying lol. Wonderful book!

Unusual story

Pleasantly surprised with this audible pic. Interesting story, good narration and we each see a little bit of ourselves in the characters. I love happy endings and this had that.

It was a fun book to listen to on a road trip. Loved the characters.
