Big respect to Mindy McGinnis for having the guts to present a pus-and-all tale of survivalism and tough decisions. Instead of contrived drama, the daily fight-or-flight situations are bang on the money, with no easy answers. Readers may be enraged that not everyone lives, but I adore the refreshing honesty and realism that Not a Drop to Drink presents. Not everyone gets a happy ending, but they get the RIGHT one, and that’s the most respectful thing an author can do for readers and characters alike. Will definitely be checking out the author’s next novel (A Handful of Dust, 2014).
