A British Girl's Guide to Hurricanes and Heartbreak

In this highly anticipated companion to the New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club YA Pick A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, Flora Maxwell heads to Miami to find a path for her future...and finds her heart along the way.

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.
