Hothouse Flower and the 9 Plants of Desire/YMMV
- Designated Protagonist Syndrome: Lila, along with the other main characters, aren’t especially likable or deep when compared to the supporting cast.
- Fridge Logic: What use (if any) was Lila to Armand if Diego could just as easily help him?
- Idiot Plot: Had Lila not told Exley about the plants in Armand’s laundromat, the story would never have happened.
- Snark Bait: Mr_Subjunctive’s rather scathing review of the book.
- Straw Man Has a Point: Exley’s accusations of Armand taking advantage of Lila are correct, but Armand convinces her otherwise.
