thought this would hit the pandemic spot but sadly no.
I also have a chronic illness, like another commenter, and no devoted boyfriend...so yeah it just rubs me the wrong way. I spent years trapped inside a body couldn't participate in the world, had some very rough patches, but somehow managed to handle it better than this person who had a person who loved her beyond all reason. As well as very specific instructions for how to deal with a known threat.
I would have liked it a lot better if she'd been very rational right up until the sad event (trying not to do spoilers). And then just had a complete break. I super hate the trope of irrational emotional and very self-centered child-woman.
Ps I also hate the trope of "run away from scientists they're all bad!!!"
