Y’all I really enjoyed this book! I read it as it is one of our Battle of the Books for my middle school. It did take me a good 50+ pages to get hooked but a lot of middle grade books do for me.

This book is set in a world where humans exist in family clusters in apartments as a result of a deadly plague. Cleo has never left her apartment or been around any other humans than her parents (though she has friends and such using a simulator). Our conflict arises when Cleo is accidentally delivered medicine meant for someone else. Being pre-med, she becomes totally worried and convinced that she must do whatever it takes to get the medicine to her patient even if it means leaving the apartment.

I won’t spoil anything. I enjoyed where the story took Cleo. It was super neat how well developed some of the characters were; one of my faves was the computer Teacher program that Cleo talks to throughout the book.
Cleo being premed means that she interpreted the parts of her complex in terms of the human body which was just a neat little addition. Overall - I really enjoyed this book!
