‘The Cactus’ Review
The Cactus
Sarah Haywood
As one of my favorite podcasts, Bad on Paper, says, this is a DNF. Did Not Finish. Which rarely happens for me in a book.
I could chalk this up to a COVID casualty since I started reading this in early 2020 before the pandemic hit. But the fact is that I’ve read several books during the pandemic. The Cactus just wasn’t that interesting and so it never dawned on me to go back to it when there are so many other books I am eager to read.
The premise is interesting, a mis-understood 40-something that seems a little prickly…I can relate. And it was a Reese bookclub pick. I got through 4 chapters and had yet to get to the endearing part. When you don’t love any characters, it’s hard to want to read. So I didn’t.
