I have so many issues with this book...soooooooooo many.

Dad at a quarantine center...Callie responding to a weird msg from him.. "Are you sick? Do they know it?" He just repeated the code. Ok, so till this point, the reader is assuming the dad is Dead. I'm going to guess that is not the case. This is not a spoiler, I haven't reached that point but I'm just making a guess. Watch him be the evil old man...that would be funny (but bad).

ok.... that is all of my status updates.... for now.

so you have all these old people employed by the "Senior Employment Protection Act" but now you have teens being used as slave labor. Aren't you taking jobs away from the Elders?

"If she had a black eye or a broken nose, then maybe the body bank people wouldn't pick her." I thought the body bank could immediately heal wounds, scars, pimple, scars, etc., why would they not pick someone because of a black eye or a broken nose? Isn't that how the Senator identified Callie, because she looked too flawless?

"My high heel twisted on the stairs in the rush and my left shoe came off". hmmmmmm... the old shoe left behind trick. Sound like a fairy tale you know?

"residual spores in the air"... hmmm..why would Mexico need to build a wall... last time I remembered air can travel over a wall. If the spores can travel via air, a wall won't help.

Trusting Blake to delivery money to an abandoned warehouse when you first met him? WTF? Also, how can you draw a map from a location that you don't know (remember the car led you the right way via gps)

First time great-granny meets Callie...she basically says hi and then goes into a long speech about young people... way out of place.

This is me not saying anything............................................ but thinking lots.
