That said, after the Tap-Out happens and Southern California completely runs out of water, the plot is fairly straightforward. The Tap-Out is big and it impacts many, many people. Some characters make brief cameos for a couple of pages, but the scope of the cast gives Dry a feeling of scope. Kelton and his family are obsessed with preparing for the end of the world and their preparations come to a head when the Tap-Out begins.Ĭovering the course of a week, Dry is not only told from Alyssa and Kelton’s points of view, but the points of view of many other characters in the novel.
Herwise “normal” teenage girl while Kelton lives next door to her with his family of “preppers.” As in doomsday preppers. Enter our main characters, Alyssa and Kelton. The tap water runs completely dry and no water can be found anywhere in Southern California. The Tap-Out is exactly what the name suggests. Dry is the story of a fictionalized drought event called The Tap-Out, which affects Southern California.
On the contrary, it’s very good, but it is also almost too timely for its own good.
About halfway into Dry by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman, I asked myself: Why did I think it was a good time to read this book? Not because the book is bad.
