Winchester, England, has always been home for Flora, but when her mother dies after a long illness, Flora feels untethered. Her family expects her to apply to university and take a larger role in their tea-shop business, but Flora isn’t so sure. More than ever, she’s the chaotic “hurricane” in her household, and she doesn’t always know how to manage her stormy emotions.
So she decides to escape to Miami without telling anyone—especially her longtime friend Gordon Wallace.
But Flora’s tropical change of scenery doesn’t cast away her self-doubt. When it comes to university, she has no idea which passions she should follow. That’s also true in romance. Flora’s summer abroad lands her in the flashbulb world of teen influencer Baz Marín, a Miami Cuban who shares her love for photography. But Flora’s more conflicted than ever when she begins to see future architect Gordon in a new light.
Laura Taylor Namey’s newest novel navigates heartbreak that feels like a hurricane in a city that is famous for them.

My Review: OMG this is her best story yet!! I am so happy that I was sent this copy of the next Girl's Guide!! Just keep them coming my way please!! I have been a fan of Namey since The Library of Lost Things and even had the chance to chat it up with her on my show #AuthorChat which I would love to chat about these as well. Hint Hint Wink Wink!!
This one was so freaking good and I read it over a few days. I could not put it down. These characters go through so much in this one that they can't help but grow. I loved all the Hurricane talk since well I do live in Florida. And the feels in this one hit hard. So if you read this one have tissues. Because, you will need them!! The pacing was spot on and I can not wait for the next Girl's Guide story!!
