Not great. I could not get past the decisions MC kept making. She has her toddler and (5?) year old with her, along with the teenage neighbor kid… and decides to drive back into the path of a hurricane? I think I remember it being forecasted as a cat 4? Like… no. That is not going to happen. There were some sweet moments, like the poor neighbor kid bonding with Gigi, but it was not enough to redeem this book.
Side note: The kids were not written in a believable way at all. There were random moments that made no sense, like her asking the littles to go back to the van to carry over a cat carrier and hamster cage. And asking in a way that says, I could really use some help here guys. From your 3 year old? You need your 3yo to step up and help carry a cat in a big ol’ carrier? What?
At least she owned up to how miserable she was feeling/acting. Doesn’t make her cheating spouse any less scummy, but I’m glad she showed some growth there.
