This was the book I needed post-election. Don’t miss the author’s note! #teamprh

I’m honestly relieved that this climate fiction narrative requires some suspension of disbelief because the disaster and aftermath depicted here are incredibly terrifying. The perspective shifts between current events and before the storm worked really well, building suspense and revealing how the MC ended up alive and alone while also allowing room for quiet moments and character building. My favorite conceit was the first hand accounts of the storm interspersed throughout from bookstore visitors; fascinating and my librarian heart loves a written record!

This premise is so fresh and incredibly satisfying for someone who’s here for women’s rights and wrongs. #teamprh

Found a new must-buy author!

More Julie Soto books please and thank you!!

So thrilled KAREEM BETWEEN won the 2024 National Book Award! Pair it with picture book INSHA’ALLAH, NO, MAYBE SO and Jasmine Warga’s MG verse novel OTHER WORDS FOR HOME. #teamprh
