Not All Cacti Have SpinesHardcover, 28 March 2023

Just like a house plant, friendship is something that needs to be taken care of to keep it alive. Luísa and Rita have been best friends since they can remember, but as they get older, something begins to threaten their bond. What does it mean to know someone? What does it take to keep our memories true? Spineless Cactus is a short story about friendship, plants, growing up but also growing apart.

'Luísa and I met in primary school and we're best friends since then. We have always been a little different, that's why I think we complement each other. But I like to believe that I know her better than anyone. Luísa brought a lily that day. And she wasn't wearing earrings.'
