I thought this was a sort of straight forward type book, a couple kids steal a truck that they were riding along from a drug mule and make for east coast--CT and along way pickup a girl. It starts along US Mexico border and the 2 boys barely know each out but both want out of their situations. They thought was just a trip to KC but saw the old guy driving pay off an ICE agent during a stop and they realized was a drug mule. Fearing they might be killed at end of trip, they decide to steal truck when old guy is away at a stop. They pickup a girl in small town MO that just wants to get away from her situation as well. The twist comes in that what is being carried in truck isn't drugs but instead a disease that does eventually get released and causes mass dying and a collapse of society. At the end one boy and the girl are alive and preparing for a long winter and probably longer at their destination land of CT. A weird story change for sure.
There were no copies in system so I posted it right away and it has already been requested so I will probably get mailed off later this week.
