Love In The Time Of Global Warming

This is a post-apocalyptic retelling of The Odyssey, but told through soft, poetic prose and a young girl searching for her lost love in a broken world. It’s short, lyrical, and full of surreal moments—mutant creatures, flooded cities, found family, and love that feels bigger than the end of everything.

What really stood out to me is the atmosphere. The writing feels almost like a fever dream: beautiful, sad, hopeful, and tender all at once. It’s not a fast-paced thriller kind of book—it’s more about emotion, connection, and resilience. Every page feels intentional, like you’re meant to slow down and sit with it.

If you like poetic YA, queer love stories, and soft dystopian worlds with heart, this one’s worth picking up. It’s the kind of book you finish quickly but keep thinking about afterward
