Love in the Time of Global Warming

I'm not a fan of retellings of Greek myths, but I am a huge fan of Francesca Lia Block, and this one feels like the old-Weetzie Bat style of storytelling than many of the titles she has put out lately. Pen is a beautiful character, as is Hex. The villains could have been explained a little more, but that is excusable. Pen's quest was a little too laid out for her (here is a map! and a truck full of food!). I would have liked a little more....story. What happened with Beatrix? With the mother? Ash and Ez were a little interchangeable. It's not perfect, but it's a great little dreamy read.
