Why read it?

1 author picked Red Rock as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a sucker for a good opening and this book intrigued me from the beginning. Kelly does a great job in building the tension and setting her world up in the seemingly normal reactions of her characters and it was this that kept me reading. Even though the main character is only 14, and it’s targeted at young adults, I still enjoyed it as an adult. It does some great cli-fi storytelling without being preachy, which is great! 

From Sue-Ellen's list on dystopian books with watery issues.
