This book was a little out of my comfort zone but I had heard good things so I gave it a shot. I wasn't sure how I would feel reading about a pandemic as I hate reading books that mention COVID but I think because this was a different kind of pandemic it still felt like a distant world and not too close to home. 

I enjoyed the way in which this book was written going back and forth between storylines and time frames. I was really rooting for some of the characters. The ending left me a bit disappointed. I was expecting more from the ending and it was just a little quiet and sad. 

Overall a solid book with dystopian vibes. Reminded me at times of The Measure.
