Now imagine that what people are fighting and dying over isn’t oil, or land, or even drugs, but water. Imagine it’s happening in the United States.
My wedding is going to be awesome. In two short weeks, I’ll walk down the aisle with a man I don’t love, flanked by friends who aren’t speaking to me, and, afterward, I’ll celebrate by killing my stepmother. I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to come… The main characters of Camille Griep’s first novel
