BLOOM

From the New York Times bestselling author of IF I SEE YOU AGAIN TOMORROW comes a delightful and heartwarming novel in which three succulent plants come up with a covert plan to help their elderly human bloom again after he loses his loving husband. Perfect for fans of Shelby Van Pelt and Fredrik Backman.

Jade, a two-year-old jade plant, is sensing her sunny disposition drift into despair as the soil in her pot continues to dry. Her human, Fred, has been missing for a long time and his husband, Morris, has been an abysmal steward in his absence. Not only has he forgotten to water Jade, he's forgotten about her older friends in the pots nearby: Valeria, a kind but cynical snake plant, and Blaze, a campfire succulent too beautiful for his own good.

As the sun continues to shine without any water in sight, the succulents finally tell Jade that Fred has all but certainly died. With a sudden sprout of inspiration, Jade realizes that to save themselves, they must first help Morris find his way again. But how?

Soaking up more of humankind than these plants may have ever bargained for, they propagate an unconventional plan to lead Morris back to happiness, and learn how our relationships with one another not only help us grow, but are essential to our very survival.
