Right After the Weather, by Carol Anshaw
2.0
Right After The Weather was a bit distant for me.. Throughout the book I felt as though the moment was coming where I could truly connect to the characters and the events of their lives, but it never really clicked for me. The characters all seemed to care so deeply for each other but dance around their emotions at an arm’s length, which seemed to limit the story not enhance it.
However the writing was beautiful and the plot overall was intriguing. Events move quickly and the spotlight is primarily on Cate’s processing of her life and her relationships. I think this is a good story for someone looking to connect to a character who feels a bit lost, unsure of what she truly wants, and impacted by many tragic events, with less of a focus on the plot and more on an inward look at Cate’s perspective of the world.
