Love & Other Carnivorous Plants
Love & Other Carnivorous Plants | Florence Gonsalves
3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
A darkly funny debut for fans of Becky Albertalli, Matthew Quick, and Ned Vizzini about a nineteen-year-old girl who's consumed by love, grief, and the many-tentacled beast of self-destructive behavior. Freshman year at Harvard was the most anticlimactic year of Danny's life. She's failing pre-med and drifting apart from her best friend. One by one, Danny is losing all the underpinnings of her identity. When she finds herself attracted to an older, edgy girl who she met in rehab for an eating disorder, she finally feels like she might be finding a new sense of self. But when tragedy strikes, her self-destructive tendencies come back to haunt her as she struggles to discover who that self really is. With a starkly memorable voice that's at turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Love and Other Carnivorous Plants brilliantly captures the painful turning point between an adolescence that's slipping away and the overwhelming uncertainty of the future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book gets 5 stars from me. I really liked Danny, and even though it got a bit angsty for me at times her humor really made all of the bad easier to swallow. It made all of the things that hit home easier to bear/bare (and yes I mean both). I highly recommend this book. Dandelion Theory all the way.

The cover is okay, but the title is catching. 😜
