This was an okay sequel to Love in the Time of Global Warming. It felt like it would be a poetic journey across an apocalyptic waste land.
However, if I didn't risk possibly hating this one and feeling stupid for wasting my time or beLet it not be said that I don't read with an open mind.
there is a character seen by Pen in a vision sent to her by her mother, Grace.
