The Waiting Sky
One summer chasing tornadoes could finally change Jane's life for the better Seventeen-year-old Jane McAllister can't quite admit her mother's alcoholism is spiraling dangerously out of control until she drives drunk, nearly killing them and Jane's best friend. Jane has only one place to turn: her older brother Ethan, who left the problems at home years ago for college. A summer with him and his tornado-chasing buddies may just provide the time and space Jane needs to figure out her life and whether it still includes her mother. But she struggles with her anger at Ethan for leaving home and feels guilty--is she also abandoning her mom just when she needs Jane most? The carefree trip turned journey of self-discovery quickly becomes more than Jane bargained for, especially when the devilishly handsome Max steps into the picture.

An easy read with a good message

I read this book in one sitting ( a few hours) and although it wasn't mind blowing or anything I did enjoy it.
The Waiting Sky is similar to the movie Twister(the book opens with a quote from the movie) but only in the aspect that they are tornado chasers and have a machine they are trying to gather information with.
Its a book about the bond between brother and sister and how they each deal with their mother's alcoholism. Throw in some romance and some tornado team rivalry and you have a nice little story.
