People write other races all the time, and Straight wasn't that great at writing another race. She's a good writer no doubt, but her race writing did nothing for me and this plot did nothing for me. What did get me was the rest of the writing. Things that stuck in my mind were the honest descriptions of people like glorette. You get such an HD picture that it's almost too much. The way some chapters started with description of travel and destination and how the south was described in this book; well those were my favorite things. As for the rest of it and the convergence in LA and the hurricane; it felt like the movie remember me with Robert Pattinson the way it used a fake family plot to give a face to the very real catastrophe and I hated that. The catastrophe's already have faces. The ACTUAL people that went through Katrina and 9/11.
