From Amazon:
Debut novelist Margot Berwin gives her fecund imagination free play in this lush and steamy summer read. Recently divorced and craving a blank slate, 30-something advertising copywriter Lila Nova moves into a new studio apartment “with absolutely no character” on Union Square. Lila, the sort of contemporary heroine given to amusing self-deflating wisecracks, is not, however, destined to inhabit a clean, white box for long. Within a few chapters, packed with romantic betrayal, plant lore and a couple of visits to a surreal Laundromat in the East Village, she’s on her way to “high adventure” in the Yucatan rain forest, where she’ll encounter ancient magic, poisonous creatures, a murderous exotic plant dealer, and, yes, true love. A wildly inventive novel as vivid and colorful as a jungle flower.I heard about this one a couple of weeks back - I tried to get an ARC of it but they gave me something else instead.

This one sounds really good - I love finding debut authors! Great find!
Beautiful cover! Looks like fun :-)
Sounds like a great book, when I first saw the cover I was convinced that it was a book about flowers :)
I've been eying Hot House Flowers; like the cover.
This is the first I've heard of this book. Thanks!
