The list siobhan vivian book review5/30/2023 Through a post-evacuation frame story and a seemingly endless collection of hinted-at mysteries, unreliable narrator Keeley escalates her increasingly bad behavior, alienating her best friend. Maybe the conspiracy is real, but in a town of boarded-up shopfronts and saturated homes, what options does anyone have? Keeley, a jokester who always takes every joke that one step too far, ramps up her high jinks to distract her glum friends. Keeley's dad thinks the governor (who plans a profitable dam) intentionally keeps the town in poor repair. As the worst of the floodwaters recede but the rains don't stop, the mayor and governor encourage the locals to abandon the town, offering hefty insurance payouts. Unfortunately, after a spring so cold and wet that kids are wearing thermals and winter coats in May, the river floods, destroying many homes and closing the high school for good. Keeley is completely psyched for her senior year in tiny, largely white Aberdeen. When disaster strikes a working-class town, the class clown learns her coping mechanisms don't help anyone.
