Welcome to Litsy!

I love when people leave books around and nobody claims them! Off to a good start!

A young couple leaves the pressures of New York City to live a simpler life off the grid in small town Vermont. As Pia and Ash prepare for the coming storm, they must face not only their fears of impending doom but also the conflicts in their relationship. The environmental/global warming issues were addressed but felt like a mere backdrop to a couple‘s dysfunctional relationship. Barely finished this one. ⭐️ #Booked2019 #Booked2019Spring #cli-fi

Yesterday's view. This book is about an epic storm and it got under my skin. It didn't help that I'm staying in the middle of a walnut orchard and it was raining cats and dogs last night. I needed a good freak out last night 😬⛈☔️

Meh. It was ok. The idea was there. I wish it was focused more on the storm and less on their relationship. The narrator sounded like a turd lol.

Gonna read!

A novel written by a deputy communications director for the White House Office of Management and Budget, producer for Vermont Public Radio, and communicator for the Environmental Defense Fund about survival and climate change. Sounds good, right? I brought it home several weeks ago from the library and would pick it up occasionally as my "next to read". Each time I put it back down. After the last few weeks, I am completely unprepared to read it.

If you believe climate change is a hoax DO NOT read this book.
For the rest of us, this is a scary real life scenario. A massive super storm strikes the eastern half of the U.S, testing the main characters marriage. Reilly has written realistic characters to drive her apocalyptic novel.
Only complaint is that I wanted more information on what the Storm did to the U.S and the aftermath that affected the globe. Morbid curiosity I suppose.

Fifty-three on the latter side of winter always feels so different from autumn's blustery fifty-three.

A superstorm threatens to destroy a marriage , a town and The Entire Eastern Seaboard. The synopsis reminds me of Stephen King's Under The Dome and also Storm of The Century.

Good read. a little bit of a political agenda, but it doesn't get in the way of the story. The ending was a little too perfect---I wish it would have ended with a little mystery.

But it was interesting and enjoyable. Well worth reading.

Is it really wise to start this book with a flash flood warning in effect for the area...during a torrential downpour....h'mmmm....

REVIEW: I wanted to like it, tried hard to like it, didn't like it. I know it was supposed to be a serious story and yet I found myself laughing at the utter pretentiousness of the narrator- he was so stereotypical NYC hipster it was difficult to find anything good. And the rest....as I said, I tried...

Would love to know who has read this one! It just came my way. 😀

While not nearly as fast paced as I often like my books to be, We Are Unprepared was still rather gripping and I was just as anxiously awaiting The Storm as the characters in the book. Little Reilly is a gifted writer who managed to convey an important message and cautionary tale while weaving it together with compelling characters that I was invested in.

Liked it, didn't love it. I think many people will love it, but something didn't completely click with me. It was a great story and scarily realistic. I could feel the cold and damp from The Storm as I read it! Fascinating look at rural Vermont and a small town's division as weather disaster approaches. The tone just didn't work for me; the narrator tells this as a flashback and it felt slightly distant. Small quibble but it bugged me.

A little ice cream with my apocalyptic climate fiction. 🍦⛈🌬🌊🌪

"I'm too selfish to do something truly good, but I think choosing to live a life that doesn't make the world worse is okay, too." This book has already caught and reeled me in.

Didn't love the writing or the main characters so taking a pass for now.
