This book is pretty boring. Not much happens. The plague is basically a worse form of covid and most of the book takes place in the same location with the same characters sitting around doing nothing except getting sick and slowly running out of food. There’s no good reason given why a bunch of kids were abandoned when there is still a working government, internet, electricity, & phones.
The characters were ok. I didn’t hate them. I liked the chapters that followed the non-verbal character the most. That was an actually interesting angle and I would have preferred the whole book to focus more on that character and her challenges.
