H2O
by Virginia Bergin
On a hot day in England, people all go outside to hang out with friends
and try to cool down. When the rain comes, they are happy to see it.
Until it starts falling on them.
Previously the giver of life, this new rain is a killer... literally.
A bacterium that had been hidden in an asteroid that was destroyed before it could hit the earth has finally reached the atmosphere. It loves water. It thrives in water. And it's raining down on every human on earth.
As the bodies of the people she knew start falling along with the bodies of all of the strangers around her, Ruby manages to survive. She's running out of food and she can't trust the water to drink it, so she's also running out of options.
Now Ruby has to figure out where to go, how to get there, and who to trust on the way.
Final thoughts: This book had some great moments, but that's really what it was; it was a series of moments. Ruby is not very likeable and she never seems to learn. She keeps making the same mistakes over and over. She keeps making the same poor choices over and over. How she manages to live as long as she does is completely coincidental and senseless. Maybe the next book will be better, but I'm not sure if I'll rush out to read it.
Rating: 3/5
