“Do you mind me asking—what kind of help do you need?”

After losing her job and her fiancé and moving back from the city to live with her parents, Shell Pine needs some help. And according to the sign in the window, the florist shop in the mall does too. Shell gets the gig, and the flowers she works with there are just the thing she needs to cheer up. Or maybe it’s Neve, the beautiful shop manager, who is making her days so rosy?

But you have to get your hands dirty if you want your garden to grow—and Neve’s secrets are as dark and dangerous as they come. In the back room of the flower shop, a young sentient orchid actually runs the show, and he is hungry . . . and he has a plan for them all.

When the choices are to either bury yourself in the warmth of someone else’s fertile soil, or face the cold and disappointing world outside—which would you choose? And what if putting down roots came at a cost far higher than just your freedom?

This is a story about desire, dreams, decay—and working retail at the end of the world.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

Amazing

I’ve seen this book compared to Little Shop of Horrors and The Ruins and while it’s true… it isn’t true at the same time. This book is special and beautiful and I want more books like this!!!

Interesting perspectives throughout the story

Even though the writer is building an interesting world, it’s a little too telling and doesn’t leave much to mystery. However, it was compelling, and the characters felt real.

Amazing book

This has been one of my favorite reads for the year! I have always been a fan of little shop of horrors and this book is from a similar plants perspective! So well done!

Like Little Shop of Horrors but much creepier

One of the strangest and creepiest books I’ve ever read. A plant preys upon vulnerable victims. Weird ending.

so good

I’ve been really let down by a lot of modern books lately but this is great, not trying to hard, just a good read with things i didn’t expect. Better than every Delilah Dawson book for sure.
