One of my favorite authors. Only because it was his book would I read about a disease outbreak during a disease outbreak.
The book was really wonderful

That was a quick ride through a terrible rabies outbreak. Tremblay has a way of writing quick but powerful novels, this is my second one by him, and it won't be my last. The action and tension were high throughout this entire book until the final chapter, and unlike his other book "The Cabin At The End Of The World", there was a solid ending in this one. I feel horrible for Romola having to battle with herself over her friendship with Natalie and her duty as a doctor. I really enjoy books that have that outbreak or pandemic trope and this one did not disappoint.
