Description

A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick

FORECAST: Storm clouds are on the horizon in L.A. Weather, a fun, fast-paced novel of a Mexican-American family from the author of the #1 Los Angeles Times bestseller Esperanza’s Box of Saints

L.A. is parched, dry as a bone, and all Oscar, the weather-obsessed patriarch of the Alvarado family, desperately wants is a little rain. He’s harboring a costly secret that distracts him from everything else. His wife, Keila, desperate for a life with a little more intimacy and a little less Weather Channel, feels she has no choice but to end their marriage. Their three daughters - Claudia, a television chef with a hard-hearted attitude; Olivia, a successful architect who suffers from gentrification guilt; and Patricia, a social media wizard who has an uncanny knack for connecting with audiences but not with her lovers - are blindsided and left questioning everything they know. Each will have to take a critical look at her own relationships and make some tough decisions along the way.

With quick-wit and humor, Maria Amparo Escandón follows the Alvarado family as they wrestle with impending evacuations, secrets, deception, and betrayal, and their toughest decision yet: whether to stick together or burn it all down.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

"A rollicking and hilarious family drama...One of the most endearing L.A. novels in recent memory." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

awful

struggled hard with this one, the readers fake accents did not hook me, the story lacked well.. a story. It was boring and more of a "year in our life"

Family, Drama, Weather

This book is a little too long for me at times but is overall a good book to discuss and analyze. The gentrification almost reminds me of colonization. Forgive my ignorance but I actually did not know that a California was once under Mexican rule. There are many metaphors, especially with broken toys and Felix running over a toy. I saw metaphors connecting the weather to things such as colonialism and the forest fires seem to represent the Alvarado family moving further away from one another.

Likes/ Loves
- Patricia Alvarado is my favourite. She is a social media influencer that seems to have the caring and loving nature.
- I like that all Alvarado sisters have completely different personalities.
- I love that despite everything, their dinners bring the Alvarado family together.
- I like the Jewish and Catholic mix/ upbringing and history of the family.

It is a well written book and it impresses me that María Amparo Escandón was able to write so beautifully in English. I could not imagine being brave enough to write something in another language. During Reese’s virtual book club meet Maria was very open and candid about her family life which I absolutely love.
