I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author did such a great job developing the characters that I felt like I knew them. I was a bit apprehensive at first as I thought the story might be depressing. Although the author did deal with describing the deadly virus and its effects, the story was always about the family and how they related to each other. The book is not depressing at all and is actually funny in parts. Although the quarantine was for 7 days, much happens in that time and there are some twists in the story that keep it interesting.
The book is well written, with a good story and memorable characters.
