The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker

4.0

"The Dreamers" is the story of one town struck by a highly contagious virus. The author goes into detail about how the town will be affected, the reactions of the media and government, and the changes in the town's citizens. At first, I was a little annoyed because I thought she was writing a slightly exaggerated covid story, but then I saw the book was published in 2019 and needed to lay down for a minute. She did a great job in building a sense of place, and each character we follow was unique and interesting. I was invested in all of them and what would happen.
