I loved this book!
I got this as an audiobook because I liked the sound of the plot description. I'm a biomedical scientist (3rd year student) and microbiology & genetics are my favourite areas of study. So reading about a virus that killed 99.99% of the human population really appealed to me. And I was not disappointed at all. This book isn't the kind of book that has a super exciting blurb, but then turns out to be more about the main character's love life. This book had some love (Kira has a boyfriend - not a spoiler), but it was so little compared to the science-y story. I loved reading (hearing) about life after the break, the Voice, the Partials. The big plot twist wasn't a total surprise to me, but I think it was intentional. There were hints along the way.
So yeah, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves dystopian. I can't wait to read the second book.
