Hurricane Girl by Marcy Dermansky

Wow this is such a wild coming of age in the time of climate change story, every extreme of what that entails is explored and the reader is boomeranged about in this wonderfully scary and all too believable book. Allison escapes an abusive relationship with a seemingly respectable screenwriter in LA by buying a beach house on the opposite side of country in North Carolina. It is a short-lived refuge, being blown to the ground in a hurricane. In the aftermath of the first of many disasters, Alison goes home with a man she doesn't know, endures a life threatening attack, has brain surgery, and that's just the start of it. I loved how believable it is to follow Allison's stream of thought, how her post-concussive brain makes decisions and no one around her is really looking out for her, even when she is wildly inappropriate. One of those in her sphere of influence is her mother and another is her neurosurgeon. But, no, she is on her own. At the beginning I feared for her life, but in the end I loved it.
