All Better Now

I have been a Neal Shusterman fan for years. As a middle school librarian I had his titles in science fiction, horror, and dystopian. No matter the genre, his books always hooked me at the start and kept me reading. His Scythe series is on my Top 5 list of all-time favorite series. That said, my expectations for All Better Now were very high. It did not disappoint.

Set in the near future, the next world pandemic has struck. Those having contracted disease, once healthy, have a level of contentment, empathy, and happiness that has them abandoning their materialistic impulses. For obvious reasons, the capitalists titans are not pleased with this and are looking for a way to vaccinate the public against this scourge. The twisty plot and engaging characters kept me engaged through the entire novel. Highly recommend this read.  
Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy.
