    Dull with spoilers

    I love the dear america series. When i saw this was about the spanish flu, i thought this would be great. Within the first few pages practically her whole family is dead with frustratingingly little detail and she's off to live with shakers. There isn't even any culture shock related conflict. She loves the shakers. The whole thing was yay shakers. I couldn't finish the book because it was so dull. There was no discernable plot. I was highly disapointed.
