L.A. Weather: A Novel

You'll never forget the Alvarado family: Dad wants nothing more than rain (and for his secrets to stay hidden); Mom feels pushed to divorce by Dad's obsession with the weather; and each of their three daughters ? TV chef, architect and social media whiz -- isn't quite sure what they want, but they're pretty sure none of what they have now is it. This gimlet-eyed, laugh-out-loud page turner has a bit of The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney and Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid to it, along with echoes of one of the great L.A. novels, The Barbarian Nurseries by Héctor Tobar.
