L.A. Weather is a fun, fast-paced novel centered on the affluent Mexican-American Alvarado family in Los Angeles. The story begins with matriarch Keila, desperate for intimacy and tired of her husband’s emotional distance and obsession with the weather, deciding to end their nearly forty-year marriage. Her husband, Oscar, the family patriarch, is consumed by his desire for rain in parched L.A. and is secretly harboring a costly secret that distracts him from everything else. Their three adult daughters—Claudia, a television chef; Olivia, a successful architect; and Patricia, a social media wizard—are blindsided by the news, which forces each of them to confront their own complicated relationships. Set against a backdrop of impending evacuations and the turbulent L.A. climate, the novel follows the family as they wrestle with secrets, deception, and betrayal, facing their toughest decision yet: whether to stick together or let their family burn it all down.
