A review by rgaiovnik
Right After the Weather by Carol Anshaw

4.0

“All the time people send her videos of rescued dogs and how happy they are now. Like a dog so frightened by his pat that he stands facing a yellow wall, his nose an inch away. He just stands there. Then he’s shown in his new happy home playing with another dog. “Isn’t this heartwarming?” the sender will say. But all Cate can see is the dog staring at the yellow wall”.

This quote perfectly captures the complexity and raw human emotion that fills this book. Cate is navigating shallow and deep relationships while trying to find her place in the world, and seriously makes you wonder if the author came into your own head to grab those feelings. Absolutely fantastic character driven novel.
