June 24, 2023 Survivor Song (Ali’s Pick)

Discussion: Ali- This was a blind date book. Liked the different take on a virus that already exists. Rocky chapter changes, but fast entertaining read. Didn’t like the end. Would recommend. Would not read another by this author. 3.5/5 Caitlin- Liked how the book jumped right in but hated the writing style. Really unrealistic. Didn’t like the end. Would not recommend. Would not read another by author. 2.5/5 Julie- Perfect vacation read. Fast paced and simple so kept my attention. Could have been longer. Needed more back story. Would recommend. Would not read another by author. 3.5/5 Jocelyn- Fast read but hated writing style. Some parts so run on and lots of repeating. Felt like a book about a different strain of COVID.

Would not read another by author. 2.5/5 Favorite Characters: Ali- Luis Caitlin- Josh and Luis Julie- Luis and Josh Jocelyn- Luis and Natalie Balance $$$- $368.16. All paid.
