If you are a fan of ya lit and/or dystopian reads, this is the book for you. For those who may not know what dystopian reads means, think of Hunger Games/The Giver/Divergent/The Maze Runner/etc. The plot typically takes place on Earth OR something resulting in the loss of Earth. Typically after the world as we know it changes so drastically that a new eco/class/financial system is in play, and/or the topography of the world was changed.
This plot take place in the future, after the pandemic has come and gone, and another super deadly virus hits and leaves only a handful of people alive. I enjoyed the main characters and thought a lot about what happened was plausible. But at times there were things where attention should have been paid a bit better to the details and how someone might know some information, and/or how did certain things happen really with no fleshed out details.
The ending ended with the possibility of a sequel but is also wrapped it up a bit. I was not as happy with the ending as though it wrapped up for what currently takes place in the book, you are left thinking and wondering what else will happen to the main characters. What happens to make it a dystopian is a HUGE deal, and not knowing the fate of the world and the characters just personally sets me on edge. But it fits the book 100% since the characters were living on the edge every day.
