Book SynopsisTrade Review"Boyle’s satire has lost none of its edge over the course of a nearly half-century literary career . . . [Blue Skies is] an expert blend of suspense, terror and, occasionally, very black humor . . . this fiercely honest writer shows us what he sees and invites his readers to draw their own conclusions." -- Wendy Smith - Washington Post"Blue Skies is less a novel about what might be done about the climate crisis and more an accomplished family drama with a climate-crisis setting . . . Boyle doesn’t offer his own clear answer. Maybe he doesn’t need to. At this stage of the climate game, it shouldn’t take much prodding to convince us that there’s plenty of work to do if we don’t want our own families to be forced to answer Boyle’s thought problem." -- Matt Bell - New York Times Book Review"If our overpopulated and overheated planet is said to be approaching its terminus, as many nervous prognosticators believe, don’t say T.C. Boyle didn’t warn us… In Boyle’s world, insects are the de rigueur foodie alternative, and why not? As the most abundant life form on Earth, there are plenty to go around, and, given the right culinary sleight of hand, they make a dandy, nutritious meal. But now they, too, are quietly dying off, and no one is really paying much attention. In Blue Skies, nature’s slow death is humanity’s blind spot…. Entertaining… He has certainly got it right. As we become more estranged from the natural world, so we are becoming strangers to ourselves, that crucial aspect of us that is enriched by a keener understanding of how the nonhuman world works." -- Marc Weingarten - Los Angeles Times"T.C. Boyle is one of our greatest living writers, and ‘Blue Skies’ is one of his greatest books. It is a climate fiction novel, but Boyle doesn’t beat you over the head with idealistic philosophies. Instead, he weaves the catastrophic details into the narrative (for example, oceanside property owners have to park their cars on ramps so the tides won’t carry them away). Like the television series ‘Succession,’ there are no redeeming characters in ‘Blue Skies,’ but the narrative is one that you will not be able to turn away from. And because T.C. Boyle has been blessed with a comedian’s pen, you can’t help but laugh at his characters’ misfortunes." -- Jason Jeffries - Colorado Sun"There have been entire shelves of non-fiction books written about climate change . . . But somehow none of them are quite as devastating as T.C. Boyle’s latest novel, 'Blue Skies'. . . . And yet just before Boyle drives his characters over the edge, he eases off the accelerator long enough to find a little hope . . . 'Blue Skies' could be a very influential book indeed." -- Rob Merrill - Associated Press"Satire has often been an important element in his work, and environmental disaster a running theme, and both are at play in this ironically titled, beautifully crafted novel…. Boyle does a brilliant job of writing about an enormous subject in utterly human terms. He draws the Cullens with all their flaws but with tender affection, too. Amid the climate apocalypse, life goes on, which is, maybe, a sign of hope." -- Colette Bancroft - Tampa Bay Times"Boyle’s writing is descriptive but sparse, with surprising outbursts of hilarity . . . Blue Skies is a leisurely ramble along the edges of destruction in a world where knowledge is snatched thoughtlessly from Google and everything, no matter how silly, is marketable." -- Dave Luhrssen - Shepherd Express"[An] ironically titled, beautifully crafted novel . . . Boyle does a brilliant job of writing about an enormous subject in utterly human terms. He draws the Cullens with all their flaws but with tender affection, too. Amid the climate apocalypse, life goes on, which is, maybe, a sign of hope." -- Colette Bancroft - Republican American"Boyle, long a fervent proselytizer for environmental and animal rights, strikes the perfect satirical note to illustrate the nonchalance and obliviousness many otherwise intelligent people display…. Boyle’s genius lies in his ability to blend the horrific and the humorous, to slowly ratchet up the tension while crafting a gripping yet eerie narrative that forecasts a disaster of our own making." -- Booklist, starred review"Spirited... Boyle remains a vibrant stylist, with fondness for his complex characters and a knack for zany details... Equal parts entertaining and anxiety inducing, this dazzles." -- Publishers Weekly"A tragicomic novel of environmental apocalypse in which no matter how bad things get, there’s worse to come . . . the breathless momentum matches the tonal command, which walks a tightrope between darkest humor and truly horrifying . . . Yet so much of this is so funny, in a twisted sort of way. At one point, a character describes the novel he’s reading as cli-fi, and this novel might fit that category as well. Yet it doesn’t so much imagine a climate future as awaken us to today’s." -- Kirkus Reviews"Is climate change funny? Yes, in the brilliantly imaginative T. C. Boyle’s hands, in a terrifying way. Blue Skies is both comic and wrenching. . . . A black arrow of unimaginable horror shoots through the novel’s center, and Boyle leads us to contemplate the ‘inexpressible sadness at the heart of everything’—and a morsel of the world’s inexpressible beauty." -- Annie Proulx"Boyle writes with a youthful and sustained energy that parallels the zeal of his dreamers, and that ultimately attenuates their failures. There are few writers who seem more American." -- Chris Bachelder - New York Times Book Review

She and her sisters—together, known as the band Siren Seven—have been a pop culture phenomenon since they were kids. On stage, wearing her iconic red wig and sequined costumes, staring out at a sea of fans, is where she shines. Anyone would think she’s the girl who has everything. But lately, she wants more. Siren Seven is wrapping up their farewell tour, and Ariel can’t wait to spend the summer just living a normal life—part of a world she’s only ever seen from the outside. But her father, the head of Atlantica Records, has other plans: begin her breakout solo career immediately, starting with a splashy announcement on a morning talk show. The night before, Ariel and her sisters sneak out of their Manhattan penthouse for a night of incognito fun at a rock concert in Brooklyn. It’s there that Ariel crosses paths with Eric Reyes, dreamy lead singer of an up-and-coming band. Unaware of her true identity, Eric spontaneously invites her on the road for the summer. And for the first time in her life, Ariel disobeys her father—and goes with him. Caught between the world she longs for and the one she’s left behind, can Ariel follow her dreams, fall in love, and, somehow, find her own voice?
