Good, worrisome book.

The tale of one woman‘s life starting from birth. Set in Florida where hurricanes have reclaimed so much, not just the land but the lives of loved ones. This is an incredible believable look at climate change.
I will anticipate more from this author as Good Morning, Midnight was also great.

I think this is my first real climate change fiction and it's blown me away to be honest. This book felt so real that every blow of the wind, every beat of the sun, has confused me. My reality has mixed with this reading experience and now I'm so element aware I'm on the verge on turning into a prepper.

This version of end of the world as we know it is so female and I love it. I watched this from the pages, this is so adaptable for screen.

This massive book, a chronicle of the climate crisis as it plays out over the course of several years, was brilliant, terrifying & at times overwhelming. A terrorist, an activist, a data analyst, an advertising executive, a scientist, their lovers, friends & family, all play their parts as the future inexorably arrives, day after day. This was a masterpiece, & all the more horrifying because, after the election, it feels if anything too optimistic

This was the most horrific book I‘ve read in a while. The first 100 pages just details this super hurricane that obliterates this family living in a podunk town in Florida. A woman gives birth during that hurricane and names the baby after the hurricane, Wanda. My stomach was in my throat those 100 pages. We follow Wanda as she grows up and learns to survive a Florida who has run out of time due to climate change. This book was full of love 👇🏼

Next up. I don‘t normally read dystopian stories, but I do hear amazing things about Tim Winton‘s writing so we‘ll give it a go. (I also read/finished Mrs. Nash‘s Ashes for book club. 🙁 it wasn‘t what I was hoping it would be - a light read to calm my mind - it was light but it was filled with the toxic male behaviour and the women that scramble to love them and ruin their self-worth in the process.)

I am not a Tim Winton fan though I've read most of his books, hoping. I do love The Riders and I have kept a few editions . I loved this in parts for what Tim was saying . It frightened me . Moved me to action . But I can't say I enjoyed it. Way too long for me. A pick because it made me think and act.
