Love Is the Drug by Alaya Dawn Johnson
3.0
Emily Bird was raised not to ask questions. She has perfect hair, the perfect boyfriend, and a perfect Ivy-League future. But a chance meeting with Roosevelt David, a homeland security agent, at a party for Washington DC's elite leads to Bird waking up in a hospital, days later, with no memory of the end of the night.

I have mixed feelings for this book. On one hand, the plot, the characters and everything was just great, even more so with a poc as the protagonist, which is amazing. But on the other hand, I felt this book went by too slowly. Not enough things happened and there were parts of the story and the background given by the author that was just ripe with excitement. I mean, a virus, mysterious diseases, quarantines, conspiracy theories against the government, romance. What's not to explore?
Great story, but like I said, it could've been written in a way that it went by a bit faster and kept the reader captivated reading page after page.
