Definitely a teen book :). Was a fun read, mostly bought it because the updated cover art (not shown on this app, look it up tho!) Was very beautiful. Very interesting to see 2012 perspective on how society would react to a pandemic.
Nonetheless, interesting book, discussed pandemics, politics, cyborgs, and more. It did keep me very engage, though the 'twists' were a little expected! But I don't think that's terrible story telling. Definitely a book, pretty good read.

Main character is missing limbs and has prosthetics. Consistent descriptions of how stuff feels and very medical centered. Also there's a pandemic going on so talk about that too. At one point she cuts herself with a knife for plot.
