A Lovely Way to Burn by Louise Welsh

Firstly, thank you to the publishers for sending me a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is an interesting start to a disease thriller trilogy. I'm very interested to see where the author will take the second and third books; whether they will follow the same protagonist or move on to a different character's perspective. I quite liked the way the protagonist was written in this book, but I'm not sure her journey could sustain a trilogy. I kept wondering why she/I should care about the possible murder of her boyfriend when everyone around her was dropping like flies from quite a terrifying disease. The focus seemed very off at times; her journey no longer felt relevant at all. I will however happily read the other books in this series as I am interested to see where this story goes.
