I loved reading this - I liked the connections between characters, I liked seeing different reactions to and infrastructure around a plague (nothing like ours, so probably won't be triggering), but was disappointed when I had to give up making these connections because they became tenuous in the last quarter. The mention of one name I had no hope of finding in the rest of the book. 

And I'm sorry, that last chapter was so unnecessary in it's trying to tie everything up (not super successfully), that I'm truly mad at it.
