This book was such a waste of my time. Another DNF. (Beware of possible SLIGHT spoilers?) 
 Laurel is just your typical teenage girl. Except that she's not. She's uncharacteristically beautiful for a high-schooler. And she's adopted, she was left on her parents' doorstep as a baby. Ooookay. And she has a thing about eating. She doesn't. She's been homeschooled her whole life because of how special she is, and she throws a fit when she has to start public high school. She is terrified of having to be inside all day. Ugh. Anyway. One day, a lump starts growing in her back that ends up being a flower. And it gets more and more cringe-y from there. I couldn't continue the book any farther when the biology "genius" and emotionless love-interest David makes a comment about the cell walls of animal cells being "much thinner." Um. Ms. Pike, please do your research, because animal cells don't have cell walls period. That's literally the only research you had to do and you couldn't even do that. 
 My friend wanted me to read this because it's one of her favorite books. Needless to say, I hated it.
