Terrifying, heartbreaking, and moving. I will be thinking about this book for a long time.

“How to quantify fear of the sky? Of the ocean? Of the ground they walk on? Sometimes he thinks this is what loving Florida means—being afraid of it.”

Went into this with zero knowledge of what it was about. Could not put it down. Loved it!

A powerful, magical piece of literature. It is a pure, yet novel, adventure filled with poignant moments of love, longing, and loss but also teeming with life.
I could NOT stop reading until I reached the end.

I went into this book fully blind, just intrigued by the title. I did not get what I expected, but something way more profound and scary and beautiful instead. It's a book that makes you think, and hits a little too close to home for you to really believe all of it could be fiction. I cannot recommend this book enough, give it a read.

This book caught me by surprise, and may be my favorite book of the year. Bittersweet, timely, and very human. Highly recommend!

This climate change novel was lovely. It was the perfect balance of a plot that moved at a good pace and well developed characters. I really loved its grounding in place (Florida).

What happens when the elements take over and the world that we knew no longer exists?
Engaging novel about Wanda and her survival through a changing world.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the early copy.
