This started out decent with a premise I found interesting. Medical thrillers are exciting for me to read as it's easy to get spooked about potential infections that can wreck our bodies.
The main character, Laurie, was okay but I found her husband to be quite infuriating given the circumstances happening in the story. Laurie was doing a lot within her power to help him and he had little empathy to show her in return. The other characters were okay but they were somewhat one dimensional which is forgivable in a thriller as long as the plot is great.
As for the plot, I expected it to be slightly faster paced with something useful happening in every chapter, but mostly I found it a bit of a chore to read during the middle parts. It did pickup somewhat towards the second half but the resolution was still a let down and not very satisfying.
