First book down for #JumpStartSummer readathon

@TheSpineView

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.

I have no idea how to explain what this book series is about, but I can list the themes! Stunning art that will stay with me forever is what compelled me to pick it up to begin with. Don‘t expect the screen adaptation to be good, because you‘ll be disappointed. Themes: death, grief, pagan lore, incarnation, the soul, plagues, bonds of love. Some elements of the story made me wonder if the author was referencing Alzheimer‘s.

I enjoyed the re-visit of this one. It felt too real/too haunting. I don't know if I would have been able to act in a similar way to the MC did. Like I get it, but could I? I highly doubt it.

Cleaned/organized my pantry for a big chunk of this #AudioCleaning (while drinking Bloody Mary's) - Love the new organization now.

Really enjoyed this one, the story was great and the artwork was very pleasing :)

I still have mixed feelings about this book, I liked it, and then it fell flat for me towards the end. But I still liked it. It can be a tough read, but sometimes you need a book that just doesn‘t end the way you want it to. Just like how real life can be sometimes. Dark, unforgiving, unpredictable, and with a side of sometimes being painfully predictable. Most certainly not a comfort read.

This was recently recommended to me but it might be too scary for me 🫣😅
