News reports
of the flu virus outbreak all over the media prompted a hypochondriac like Charlotte
to practically barricade herself and bathe in sanitizer. Every sneeze was just
terrifying to her. Anxious, she felt trapped. The flu was everywhere, and the
death count was rising.
Alone—that’s
what she was. No way in. No way out. Charlotte had no choice to live in
self-imposed exile, while the city broke out in pandemonium.
Story was
well-written overall with a steady stream pace. The reader follows the story of
a woman’s panic and fear treading through a massive epidemic. The bulk of the
story centers on her locked inside the apartment as news of the ruckus outside
plays on the TV. It’s almost like the movie Cast
Away (well, she practically is a cast away.) But I guess through family,
neighbors, and acquaintances, she was able to make the best of it.
A pretty
good read.
My rating: 3 stars
