NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved author of the nationwide best seller Dept. of Speculation comes a "darkly funny and urgent" (NPR) tour de force about a family, and a nation, in crisis.
Lizzie works in the library of a university where she was once a promising graduate student. Her side hustle is answering the letters that come in to Hell and High Water, the doom-laden podcast hosted by her former mentor. At first it suits her, this chance to practice her other calling as an unofficial shrink-she has always played this role to her divorced mother and brother recovering from addiction-but soon Lizzie finds herself struggling to strike the obligatory note of hope in her responses. The reassuring rhythms of her life as a wife and mother begin to falter as her obsession with disaster psychology and people preparing for the end of the world grows. A marvelous feat of compression, a mix of great feeling and wry humor, Weather is an electrifying encounter with one of the most gifted writers at work today.

This book is so different from nearly anything I've read before. It comes in small, sometimes independend paragraphs, which makes it possible for it to express the whole pulse of the time with all its emotional rollercoasting. Such an intense and nice read!
Not what I expected

She is a librarian as well as a hobby shrink, Lizzie Benson loves putting herself into other people’s narrative. Especially, as she finds interest in the prepper scene.
This book has intrigued me for quite some time with its promise of psychological meddling. Instead I got a deep dive into the scene of prepping for the inevitable end of society as we know it. At least now I know how to build a candle out of tuna and newspaper, but I’m also quite sure that I’ll never need that knowledge. The writing style was quite free form in a way that was too fragmented for me to enjoy.
