I loved everything about this book except the very end. I thought the way things wrapped up was too quick and quite unsatisfying. But I definitely loved the tense atmosphere, and I always enjoy stories that show how different people react to and deal with big disasters like this. How easily society could fall apart. The main characters actions and priorities are a bit questionable every now and then, but hey, they are teenagers, I thought it was believable.
And in conclusion: like so many others who read this book: yes, it made me really thirsty…. Not taking the water out of my tap for granted, that’s for sure!
