It has been praised by Ira Glass as "a mix of this clean, spare, unaffected prose about growing up near the swamps of South Florida — plus these incredible photos .... A completely original and clearheaded voice.

"[2] Set throughout the 1990s, And Every Day Was Overcast revolves around an unnamed male narrator coming of age in Southern Florida.

In an effort to overcome his own asocial character and the anti-social behavior of those around him, the teenage narrator relies on television, alcohol and drugs to escape reality.

The hardcover edition was available in a limited quantity with a photographic print signed by Kwiatkowski and a vinyl record soundtrack produced by the author and Black Balloon Publishing.

[3] The soundtrack is also digitally included on the iBooks version, along with interviews Kwiatkowski conducted with women from Southern Florida about their experiences growing up there.
