This was my IRL book club's pick for this month. It had mixed reception amongst the crew, but I really liked this and think it's a strong debut. For me I was immediately hooked by the premise; off the bat you learn that every single white person in America walked into the water one day. You follow a father and daughter, who had never met before the event for reasons. What kept me interested were the glimpses into the physiological and societal responses to such an event happened and the thriller-esque tension as they traveled from place to place. So, so much more I could say and it was a good book club discussion. I could nitpick some things and some folks absolutely did in the meeting, but to paraphrase a fellow member, it was provocative and I'm glad I read it.
