lbgandhi 's review for:
L.A. Weather
by María Amparo Escandón
I really, really hate rating a book 2 stars. I tried so hard to find some redeeming qualities in this book to push my rating up. There was one - the opening of this book really grabs you. It's every parents worst nightmare. And I just knew from there this was going to be a book I couldn't put down. Unfortunately the opposite happened... this was a book I had a hard time finishing. Family drama, divorce, affairs, secrets, stealing embryos, crazy weather - all the makings for a homerun book, but this one struck out for me. I honestly didn't connect, or even like, any of the characters. The story jumps between storylines too much that it gets frustrating to follow. I thought the structure of the book following the family over the course of a year was clever, just poorly executed.
Does the Alvardo family "weather" the storm of the their chaotic life? You'll have to read to find out. People either seem to really like this book or not care for it. While this is not a book I cared for, or one I'd recommend, that doesn't mean this isn't for other readers.
My thanks to the author, Flatiron Books and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
