In this novel, a Category Four Hurricane is heading towards Savannah where Ramona, thirty-eight, leads a busy and harried life as a project manager, mom to a toilet training toddler, and she’s dealing with her own mother who is refusing to evacuate. In the evacuation hurricane panic Ramona rushes home to find her husband having an affair with a mom from their kids’ school, so she makes the choice to evacuate without him. Throughout the novel, Ramona revisits memories where Prince’s songs played during seminal moments in her life. This was a fast and funny read taking place over the course of a frenzied 48-hours. Thank you to Atria books and Netgalley for the advanced review copy.
