The underlying alcoholism was kind of triggering for me. Maybe it gets discussed later in the book, but I got really bad vibes and couldn’t wait.

 I listened to the audiobook of this novel. Overall, a compelling read that reflects the ongoing effects of climate change and the climate anxiety that goes along with it. The prose was well-written, the characters dynamic and at times, flat-out unlikable. I did not love the internalized ableism of Cooper's amputation. Small note, but I hated the way that the audiobook narrator said their 'w's lol.
