Book, it's not you, it's me! These stories were very compelling, well written, smart. Because I have met the author, I could almost hear him reading aloud. But, well, the failed American Dream has never been my favorite subject. So I give it 5 stars for quality and 2 stars for how much I identify with it.

This book was a well written collection of stories. I enjoyed getting a peek at the lives of the various characters, though the stories were generally somewhat depressing. The one about Iowa, and the title story were my favorites. The title story offers a terrifying glimpse into a largely waterless, post drought life that may become reality if climate change is left unchecked and care is not taken to prepare for the effects of the changes.
