George is a fern. George does not want a human to buy him from Garden Palace and bring him home. George doesn’t want to be trapped indoors in a house. George wants to be free in the garden with the other plants. One day, Brenda buys George, brings him home, and takes care of him. At first, George is not happy about this, but then he learns to appreciate Brenda and everything she does for him.

The House Plant is a short story that totally gave me Toy Story vibes. I loved George’s story, and how he learned about unconditional love and how it’s okay to depend on the people willing to give that to you. I liked how it was written from George’s perspective while Brenda is telling her friends how he came to live with them. It was cute how George disagreed with Brenda’s story at first, but then you can see how he softens towards her.

Jeremy Ray wrote an endearing story that totally captured my heart. Now I need to go buy a fern!

Thank you to the author for an ebook in exchange for my honest review.
