Where to start . . . 
 This book gets two stars because the author likes Les Mis, and the writing isn't hyper-sexualized to smoke-screen a shallow romance. 
 Actually, there are no smoke screens. The writing is clean but simple, with no style or definative voice. The plot is virus dystopian, with heavy "foreshadowing," and standard world development. 
 The characters are implausible and corny, but not obnoxious. 
 Yawn.
