Critics Review

“Like Dry by Neal and Jordan Shusterman and Tilt by Emma Pattee, When the Rain Came is taut and terrifying. Fans of dystopian fiction won’t be able to put it down.” (Megan E. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of AWAY and ALONE)“This fast-paced novel with dystopian elements will keep readers invested in its action-packed plot.
