bed! I had to pick it up when I got back
up. I’m recovering from back surgery so

hard to put down. I haven’t read one

Description as found on Good Reads:
The very last thing 17-year-old Emmott
Syddall wants is to turn out like her dad. She’s descended from ten generations
who never left their dull English village, and there’s no way she’s going to
waste a perfectly good life that way. She’s moving to London and she swears she
is never coming back.
But when the unexplained deaths of her
neighbors force the government to quarantine the village, Em learns what it
truly means to be trapped. Now, she must choose. Will she pursue her desire for
freedom, at all costs, or do what’s best for the people she loves: her dad, her
best friend Deb, and, to her surprise, the mysterious man in the HAZMAT suit?
Inspired by the historical story of the
plague village of Eyam, this contemporary tale of friendship, community, and impossible
love weaves the horrors of recent news headlines with the intimate details of
how it feels to become an adult—and fall in love—in the midst of tragedy.
