"Do you mind me asking--what kind of help do you need?" After losing her job and her fianc 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.

“Only in a time-locked building like the Woodbine Crown Mall would you see a HELP NEEDED sign in a shop window.”

A unique suspense horror with inspiration from Little Shop of Horrors. This was a fun read, great audiobook.
The plant is the best character of the story, the humans don‘t quite compare. There are a few convenient moments and the ending didn‘t quite hit for me, but I would recommend this one. It is not too gory and something new. 4⭐️

Shell, fresh out of a breakup in her young 30s and just having moved back home with her parents, takes a job in the mall as an assistant florist where there is a sinister plant. I wanted to like this more than I did but it lacked forward motion. There was a lot of stutter stopping. The story was sprawling in ways where I just ached to get back to any kind of main story. I just wanted the plant to kill people. Is that too much to ask!!! Low pick.

KathyWheeler I don‘t think it‘s too much to ask at all! 😄 1mo
CBee Feed me, Seymour!! 😂😂 1mo
Reggie @KathyWheeler @CBee lol, the plant was too involved in the human drama rather than getting things done. You ever decide to read one book about killer plants, make it the Ruins. Those plants coulda taught this one a thing or 2. 1mo

KathyWheeler @Reggie I don‘t generally get creeped out or scared by most books, but The Ruins did that to me! Good book. 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Lol I love your complaints 😅😅😅 1mo
vivastory Def. not too much to ask:

vivastory @CBee lolol I just now saw yr comment after I posted mine 1mo
CBee @vivastory great minds 😂😂😂 1mo
Reggie @KathyWheeler I haven‘t read that book in over 10 years but I think about the main characters a lot. How he wanted to be a doctor and even though all he wants is to help and save them all he can‘t. Such a good book. 1mo
Reggie @JenlovesJT47 lol, thanks, there was some good raw material in here. Just lacked some execution. 1mo
Reggie @vivastory you can tell there‘s a lot of inspiration in here taken from LSOH. 1mo

This from a plant in the bouquet of flowers the girl is holding.

CoverToCoverGirl Creepy 👀. I might be rethinking my multiple flower beds. 1mo
Reggie @CoverToCoverGirl lol, the pollinators of the world need your flowers! have you ever seen that movie The Happening? If you haven‘t, don‘t, it was horrible but basically the plants of the world have gotten together to release this toxin that causes humans to kill themselves. It was very scary. 1mo
TrishB Wow 😮 1mo

'Eat the Ones You Love' is a bizarre novel, but in a good way. The shopping mall where Shell just got a job is closing. What she doesn't know is this affects more the workers. There's a carnivorous, sentient plant hiding within the walls and floors, who wants nothing more than to eat someone. Baby, the plant, is one of my favorite voices in the audiobook. Relationships of various kinds are spotlghted throughout the novel. 4 stars
