Dry

I drank so much water listening to this! Though they give a hopeful ending, this book feels like a glimpse into a pretty close future that i believe we are as a society are in no way working to avoid. Definitely makes me want to up my own conservation and environmental efforts. Very discussable and would be great paired with lots of nonfiction on the topic. Some hackneyed/out of touch writing (I saw the real him as if he was being unzipped from a zip drive?!?!?!) but the action and pacing made that easier to overlook.

[♾️ stars ⭐️.] This book was MIND-BLOWINGLY amazing, just over the top stupendous. I don't know why, but before reading this book, I just had the feeling that I would love this book. I don't know what told me, but I'm glad I listened because..it was just jaw-dropping..it was just one of the best books I've ever read. The characters felt like real people in the sense as if I was actually there in the book. The writing was one of the reasons the book was really hard to put down, the other reason was the plot. The plot scared me for a bunch a reasons, but I'm not gonna list them all. The main reason I was kinda scared was because of how real this story felt, and it could easily become our reality, especially since we know this Earth's water situation. It felt so real, I kept water near AT ALL TIMES. This book also made me think about how as humans, we take water and not just water, but most things for granted, and it made me think deep about it. This is definitely one of my new favorite books of all time, and I just feel really thankful that I got to read this book. It's definitely made me think/learn more about not taking things for granted and to also be grateful for everything that you have because this book taught me that you don't know how desperate you are until you are. This book has undoubtedly taught me life lessons.
