Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by one of my favorite authors, Kimberly Martin - 5 stars!
A group of doctors met during medical school and have remained a tight group, including meeting once a year for a girls getaway. This year, all but 2 of the group headed to Spain. The main characters - Kira is an infectious disease doctor, working at the CDC; Compton an emergency room doctor; Hannah an OB-GYN. Kira's two children joined them on the trip and they met up with her ex-boyfriend as well. Little did they know, they were at Ground Zero with the start of a worldwide pandemic (not COVID). All of the friends experience complete upheaval in their worlds as they try and battle their professional and personal worlds in a new time.
Written before COVID (be sure and read the Author's Note at the end!), this book still mirrors our current pandemic fight. Kimmery Martin is a former emergency room doctor and really shows us what heroes first responders are (in case we didn't already know). This also shows the personal and ethical battles that go along with new vaccines and treatments. If you've read the author's other books (and you must!), you'll recognize a few of these friends' names, which was fun to see and left me anxiously awaiting more books. I couldn't put this one down - don't miss it!
