A British Girl's Guide to Hurricanes and Heartbreak by Laura Taylor Namey
3.0
After Flora’s mother dies, she feels lost and chaotic. She escapes to Miami without telling a soul, hoping a change of scenery will bring her back to herself. When she’s there she feels more confused than ever, not knowing which passions to pursue, what to do about University, or even which love interest to choose. In this journey she begins to reconnect with herself and heal all at the same time.
I adored A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrowland, so I was highly anticipating this follow up. While I didn’t adore this book the way I did book one, I still appreciated many things about it. I love how Laura Taylor Namey really captures that feeling of being young and lost and having no idea what the future holds. The way she pairs those feelings with grief feels so raw and real, and I felt for Flora. Flora was messy and angry at the world and I loved the way that was captured and how I still was rooting for her to succeed and find her joy. This book definitely hits you in the feels and there is something so beautiful about the way it was written.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.
