I read this as an audiobook and blew through it in a day and a half. (Don’t be fooled by my photo with a copy of the hardcover book - sadly it was only the audiobook that allowed me to multitask while reading!) A very interesting read that talks about how the Earth’s rapid warming impacts daily life. Goodell highlights the intersectionality of climate change (how factors like race and class impact the ways in which people experience climate change). Our winters are shorter and summers stretch on longer with weather and natural disasters popping up more often every year. Even though I stay very aware of information related to climate change, this was one of those books that slapped me in the face and was a good reminder to look at my surroundings. The fact that I’ve been miserable for most of the summer is completely warranted and is a direct result of climate change. If you’re looking for a good nonfiction read that is informative and realistic while also not getting too bogged down in the negative emotions surrounding the topic, this might be a good one to pick up! I recommend the audiobook, personally - the narrator does a fantastic job at bringing Goodell’s voice to life!
