The ending of my book, unlike most books, solved the main conflict of the story.  The only conflict that was relieved was the sight of Leo on the ferry as it came closer to the island.  The whole book was based on Kaelyn's journal entries to her friend Leo throughout the epidemic.  I do not think that the author did a good job on the ending of the book,  but there may be a sequel to this novel.  The main conflicts was all based around Kaelyn.  Between Kaelyn sending endless journal entries to Leo,  falling in love with Gav and being able to physically and mentally survive the virus outbreak this book is the conflict of a teenage life.  With a hint of a life consuming virus.  Besides the fact they never cured the virus in my book, it ended with less and less people coming into the hospital,  This could be because the whole town is almost dead, or people have managed to keep a highly sanitary lifestyle.  For a small secluded island they did do a very good job dealing with this conflict.
    I am very glad I chose to read this book and I recommend to anyone that is into this type of novel.

In the previous blog I shared with you some brief descriptions of a few characters in my book.  Now I am focusing on the main character Kaelyn who has a lot going on as everyone in the town does.  Kaelyn was once a shy, less socially active girl in her high school but the epidemic has definitely changed her for the better.  She caught the virus and was one of the lucky ones to survive it.  This has made her evidently stronger as she now is taking on the roll of helping deliver food to the town and helping get kids to safety.  With the new gangs roaming the streets shooting and stealing, she knows her life is at risk but the better of her is keeping her on track with doing the right thing.  As strong as Kaelyn is her one weakness is the people she is attached to.  In situations where any of her friends or family could potentially be in danger she shuts down, and loses focus on the task worrying too much to think for her own needs.

Do you think Kaelyn's weakness is affecting her based on her maturity? Or situated on the epidemic causing her to act this way. View other members of the story line to aid your answer on how people are acting.

          In my book the main character Kaelyn is faced with leaving her best friend in the heat of an argument, but this is the least of her worries.  Frequent journal entries from Kaelyn describes her emotion towards losing friends, gaining friends, and also surviving a massively spreading respiratory  virus ending lives.  I lot of information in short notice? This is how the small island town on the east coast felt when symptoms of itchiness, and hallucinations resolving in death began to plague the island.  Caught between helping her father with the epidemic and trying to keep in touch with lost friends, life is tough.

QUESTION
         In relation with this book,  have you ever been faced with two problems at once as Kaelyn is?  If so how did you prioritize your problems and solve them?
