If you knew that catching a new sickness would change your outlook on life to only find the good, would you chance to get sick? This is the question the characters within All Better Now face as a new pandemic has emerged. We follow characters as they live through a second pandemic and how each chooses to handle the idea of getting sick. I found this book utterly fascinating in the first 30% because, as the reader, we are learning about this new sickness and trying to figure out if it is good or bad. I personally didn't agree with some of the characters and their choices after being exposed to Crown Royal. I think this is a well-written book, and I think that Shusterman does a great job at writing engaging dystopian, but I prefer the Arc of the Scythe trilogy better than this.
