Not a Drop to Drink

I really enjoyed this. After loving Be Not Far from Me I was really excited to get started on Mindy McGinnis' backlog, and this first one did not disappoint! It has that similar thread of survival, and I really enjoyed the post-apocalyptic vibes. I switched back and forth on formats, and the audio was well done. Definitely recommend this one. I think if you enjoyed Dry by Neal Shusterman, The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, or in general post-apocalyptic or survival type stories where there are environmental factors and other humans are part of the enemy.

This novel is difficult to put down once you have started reading it. The writing flows well and is written beautifully. The characters are relatable, despite the apocalyptic settings surrounding them, and they develop in believable ways. The plot is well-paced and intriguing, and driven by the self-reliant and proactive protagonist, Lynn. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys watching characters question their morals and grow, fans of survival works, or anyone who wishes to see a powerful female protagonist who remains so, despite the evolution of her personality, throughout the duration of the novel. This book is wonderful, and now occupies a prominent place on my book case.
