Imagine that God was a teenage boy, and a spoiled, sulky, sex-crazed one at that. One who became god because his mother won the job gambling. Now imagine that every time he falls in love, lust might be a better word though, the weather goes insane and it usually ends with disaster and death for hundreds if not thousands.
There is no dog - Meg Rosoff
Estelle struck me as someone who could have been a fascinating character. Unfortunately as a supporting character she didn’t get a whole heap to do. But I’d read a book about her if I got the chance. So I won’t be giving up on Rosoff as an author, I’ll just have to try a different work by her.

That's too bad you didn't enjoy this more. I have read all of Rosoff's books and sometimes I really love her… Other times not so much… She is always trying to be a bit different and it doesn't always work well.

This does not sound like the Meg Rosoff I read and adored (What I Was) but seeing Kailana's comment it seems that not all of her books are equally good.
