Summary

Like many, Mackenzie Garret complains about the weather. It is the hottest summer anyone can remember. The high temperatures are out of control with no end in sight. Until it all changes.

Overnight, blue skies become gray, and the hot, humid weather turns to rain, then snow, then ice as the temperature plummets.

The entire northern half of the country is thrown into chaos as blow by blow, storm after storm, nature rips into the world, tearing it apart. Towns and cities are evacuated, and Mac and her family are forced to leave their world behind and face a treacherous journey south to safety.

Will they make it, or will they be left behind in this new, frozen world?

Very odd and disjointed

The narrator sounds like a teenager, rather than a woman in her late 30s/early 40s and her tone is whiny/snarky, which is totally unsuitable for the story.

The plotting and characterisation are all over the place. For example, the story begins in one place then goes back to the past, but never returns to the story’s start in the ‘present’. The main character goes from being a naive fool who refuses to accept reality, to murderous mom in a few pages, then returns to whiny bickering with her mother in law as if nothing happened - it’s all just a bit silly. She also forgets to ask about her missing family on several occasions, which seems unlikely!

This had potential, but ultimately was disappointing.
