Well written, but horrible storyline where parents are useless, cowardly, selfish asshats and kids are the mature ones. A cross between lighter version of “The Road” and “Lord of the Flies.” I think it’s meant to be a wake-up call for adults living comfortable lives and don’t prioritize fighting climate change or addressing other society issues. Don’t read right before going to sleep at night.

this book was not unique by any means premise wise but the writing style was super riveting. there were a few times where it seemed like it was going to veer into standard YA dystopia but it didn’t.

Un gruppo di famiglie prende in affitto una villa dell'Ottocento sull’Oceano, dove trascorrere l’intera estate. Adulti ed adolescenti si trovano ad affrontare il cambiamento climatico, ormai diventato violenta realtà. I primi si rivelano infantili ed inetti, i secondi dimostrano ricchezza di ingegno e forza. Opera contemporaneamente realistica e favolistica, una Bibbia per ragazzi (il titolo originale), che permette di pensare alle chance di sopravvivenza della civiltà in un mondo che sta piombando nel caos.

Well-written but got less and less original and interesting as the story went on.

Powerful book, part teenage rebellion and bigger part a doomsday book about our climate change crisis. Really good.
