LA Weather by María Amparo Escadon.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.5/5

An exploration of a year in the life of the Alvarado family, as they undergo divorce, separation, deception, disease and drought. Set in Los Angeles, this book goes month by month as the Alvarado’s lives are tested
by the different conflicts thrown at them.

I found the bond between the family really good. Loved seeing adult children maintain & have such a close bond with their parents. The cultural bonds & nuanced elevated it for me.
While exploring the effects of drought and climate change, the book felt like a love letter to the city of Angels, it’s nooks and corners, and cultural mash-up which has different cuisines and nationalities in different streets and blocks.
It celebrates the unique identity of Los Angeles that goes beyond Hollywood and the film industry.
I did struggle with rooting for some of the characters though. The mom Keila, and the eldest daughter Claudia, in particular had their flaws outweigh their positives.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t one of those books that had me absolutely hooked, and desperate to read more. But I still applaud the themes of family, sisterhood, and the ways in which we hurt and appreciate Mother Nature.

What I absolutely love about #NancyDrew is how the Drew Crew interact EVERY episode and are involved in the A plot together. You can actually see that they’re really close friends and are involved in each other’s lives. I love it.
Also Ace has a brother 👀
Ryan and Carson spying on Nancy was so great. I love Carson helping Ryan be a father. And Nancy telling Carson I love you 😭😭😖
