I blindly picked up this book because I thought the cover was super cool and the title intriguing. If I were a parent, I think I would have related so much more to the characters and story. Not being a parent, I felt more like a spectator.    A Category Four hurricane is the last thing Ramona needs. Between work, a philandering husband, a toddler, a mother not afraid to say what's on her mind, a neighbor kid, a guinea pig, and the death of Prince, her plate is full. Now she gets to add evacuation to her to-do list.    This book was fun and relatable in the sense of everything going wrong all at once, there was just a lot I couldn't relate to on the parenting and marriage front which was a large focus of the story. I'm hesitant to say it was chaotic because that was entirely the point, however, I struggled to follow what was happening. I can see myself revisiting it at another time in my life and absolutely love it.
