When her parents died in a global pandemic, seventeen-year-old Cassie Thompson thought her biggest problem was finding her next meal. But “Telo” is a virally-transmitted genetic disease that targets adults, and no one is immune. Surviving to adulthood isn’t looking very good as her city succumbs to food shortages, sanitation problems, and gang violence. When Cassie accepts an invitation to join a group of young people living in a luxury hotel, she thinks her most immediate troubles are over. Her new tribe appears committed to alliance-building, order, and civility. She soon finds, however, that her new friends have dark secrets and the boy she is falling in love with might be the most dangerous of them all.

I really enjoyed this book! Reading the flash fiction set made it more personal too. It was neat seeing little snapshots of the characters' lives before they all came together. I wish a few more mysteries had been answered, like how the twins were twins but not related? But I would definitely read this book again and recommend it to friends!
