It might make you spiral because it’s so real, but it’s so thought provoking about what we will do when our water crisis turns deadly. Neil tackles hard topics in really digestible ways.

3.5-4 but leaning more on 4. I'd probably give this a 5 if it was adult instead

It’s a great concept for a book, but I was so annoyed that everything fell apart on day 2 and 3. These upper middle class families that shop at Costco all had zero water, soda, anything. I feel like if it was a little more believable it could have been an enjoyable book.
Riveting, and kept me wanting to read more. That's Shusterman! I loved how varied the main characters were (Alyssa, her 10-year old brother Garrett, the survivalist across the street Kelton, the independent Jacqui, and the observant/conniving Henry), and how what the other characters observed about each other helped me understand the motives of each. A couple of spots actually made me gasp aloud, and I was pouting when I'd accidentally left the book at school. What I didn't really appreciate was that everything was wrapped up nicely at the end...
