I listened to an audio book by Carolyn Prusa called None Of This Would Have Happened If Prince Were Alive. The cover of the book was purple and I am a fan of Prince's music. This story is set in Savannah, Georgia and the narrator is Ramona. The story takes place over 48 hours and each chapter starts with the time of day. A hurricane is coming to Savannah and there is a mandatory evacuation order. Ramona leaves her job early to pick up her daughter from day care. When they arrive home she finds her husband having an affair with another mother from her son's school. She kicks him out of the house. She goes to school to pick up her son and is told it is her turn to take the class guinea pig, Clarence Thomas, home during the long weekend because the school will be closed for the hurricane. While handling phone calls and emails from her boss, she gets the house ready for the hurricane, packs up her kids. She drives to her college best friend's house in Augusta. Checking in on her Mom she realizes her Mom has not evacuated so she drives back into the hurricane to pick her up. Many things are going wrong in Ramona's life and to read her thoughts is very entertaining. This book is not great literature but it was entertaining.
