YOU CHOSE: ROSE

You love books which are seductive on the surface, but conceal dangerous hidden depths.

Roses have been a symbol for passion since the Greeks, who proposed that it first grew from a mixture of Aphrodite's tears and her lover's blood. Achingly beautiful, but fragile, these flowers can be full of hidden thorns.

If you picked the rose as your favourite flower, I recommend you read Sarah Rose Etter's Ripe, a vulnerable but incisive portrayal of one millennial woman battling the absurdities of late-stage capitalism.
