This book took forever to finally get to the plot, at least half way through. The first half was a dumb teenager pining over a girl that was never really that interested in him. If you enjoy teenagers being entirely self absorbed in themselves then, you'll enjoy the first half of the book. There wasn't even that much world building beyond the main character Koli, and some conspiracy that happens with the people in power in his tiny town.
FINALLY, a plot happens well into the second half of the book and the book ends right as it actually gets really interesting. The pacing of this book is awful. The whole concept about plants being dangerous and it's actually not really a large part of the book, just a plot device that gets brought up when it's useful again.
