Reviews

Praise for Love & Other Carnivorous Plants
Booklist Editors' Choice: Books for Youth 2018
A 2019 Rainbow Book List Selection

*"A pitch-perfect take on what happens when the future you imagined doesn't live up to expectations.... This genuinely funny novel about some harrowing topics manages to balance humor and pathos perfectly. Readers who connected with J.J. Johnson's Believarexic or Sam J. Miller's The Art of Starving will want this book, as well as the many John Green fans who crave intelligent stories that occupy both shadow and light." --Booklist, starred review

"Fans of Sarah Dessen will appreciate Danny's relatable and realistic journey. A must-have sharp, powerful, and witty immersion into the complexities of sexual identity and mental health." --School Library Journal

"Gonsalves juggles multiple serious adolescent challenges with operatic verve--eating disorders, substance abuse, sexual awakening and orientation, mental health, grief.... A feel-good debut sure to interest teens looking to feel better about not feeling so great." --Kirkus

"Gonsalves realistically conveys Danny's wide range of emotions.... Her most profound realization comes through accepting that she can live her life on her own terms and that she need not have it all figured out quite yet." --Publishers Weekly

"Self-deprecating, witty.... As funny as it is painful." --VOYA

"A hilarious, thoughtful novel of trying to figure out loving other people when it hurts, and loving yourself when it's impossible." --Teenreads.com

"Will appeal to students who deal with anxiety and the pressures of life that many teens face." --School Library Connection
"Gonsalves' sympathetic and multidimensional portrait of a young woman facing major challenges will appeal to fans of John Green."--Booklist
