i worry the low rating this one is partially from boredom and partially from other things in my life effecting my enjoyment. i'll consider a reread a few years down the line to see if my feelings change about this one once i'm more removed from what's going on right now. :/

The story is raw and emotionally charged. I have a feeling that it's also deeply personal.

Caroline is a Hurricane Child: born in the midst of a hurricane and considered unlucky. But she didn't really feel that unlucky until her mother left and didn't come back. Sporadic postcards from around the world gradually died out until Caroline hasn't heard anything of her mother for months. When Kalinda transfers to her school, Caroline finds a friend and kindred spirit who can see the same things she can - things that no one else seems to be able to see. Together, the two set out to find Caroline's mother and in the meantime find a deep and abiding friendship. This is a beautifully written queer book with wonderful touches of magical realism.

I wasn't a huge fan of this book. It was good, I just didn't connect to the characters and I didn't care what happened next.
