A review by kirkbyg
The Cactus by Sarah Haywood

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I kept wanting to like this book more than I did. I was invested and did want to finish it but didn't get much satisfaction with the ending. Which I guess, isn't necessarily a requirement because the ending could be considered realistic. I just didnt get a lot of feeling from the book. The author did a good job at going back and forth between present time and memories that added context though.
