I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway (thanks to Henry Holt & Company!) so I went into this story pretty blind. This book was so unexpected and amazing and I'm so glad I read it.

I loved the multiple-POVs of the sisters and how each sister's personality really shined through in their chapters. I think this story was so well-rounded and full because we got to see the different perspectives. 

The villain in the story is the patriarchy which I can always get behind. I also liked that Nora gave off Winona Ryder in Stranger Things vibes. 

I do not have a good background in the Flint, Michigan water crisis but I think this story really gives a good glimpse of what can happen and how money and power can influence not only the government's decisions but also the community's decisions. 

In summary, read this book!
