The Death House by Sarah Pinborough

3.0

Somewhere in the near future some sort of disease is almost eradicated but the population are still tested and the Defectives found are whisked away to an island so live in isolation. Toby is one of the older young people in the Death House carving out his way of coping among many. I found the massive anti-religion drive very distracting as that's not my fight, but the description of first love was rather sweet. It definitely was a page-turner but there was something about it too that dropped the stars, so to speak. Still trying to figure out what that was.
