Review: All Better Now

All Better Now All Better Now by Neal Shusterman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A new pandemic is sweeping the globe and this one has different long-term effects on any survivors … they have a feeling of utter contentment.  These survivors no longer feel greed, stress, or even a drive to be the best.  Is there a problem with always being happy?  Some would say, “Yes!”  While people are working hard to create a vaccine that would stop the virus, others are working on a way to spread it faster.  Who will win out?  Are humans about to become extinct?

All Better Now is a stand-alone science fiction story that hits very close to home after our recent COVID-19 pandemic.  The science is a little past our current science, but not so far advanced that it isn’t plausible soon.  Shusterman created characters on both sides of the issue that are easy to relate to and no matter which side you are rooting for … the ending is satisfying.  All Better Now is a fun read for sci-fi fans.
