I found the plot to be obvious and predictable and the love interest was unlikable. It felt almost like he had no life other than her.

I also found that it was silly for the first boy she ever meets that’s not part of her family is what we now have to call “the love of her life.” I felt very distrusting of Alex until he left himself die for her which was odd considering this is only the first book of three and if he’s going to die I would at least hope that they would discover that he was actually planning something sinister or wasn’t all that he seemed otherwise he’s just dead?Graphic: Pandemic/Epidemic
Moderate: Suicide, Death of parent, and Animal death
Minor: Blood and Cursing

Didn’t love it. DNFed about 2/3 of the way through because it was just so slow paced and I could feel it putting me in a reading slump. Maybe I’ll get back to it one day but for now it was just okay.
