no unfortunately its not it

Is this dystopian science fiction, or is it set in the past?

it takes place in the past. They have horses.

It can't be too far in the past if a vaccine is exchanged for a car. Are you sure it's not just that society has collapsed and technology has been replaced by older ways? Do you know if it's based on a real disease? Do you know where it's set (country and location, i.e. Canada and urban, or USA and rural)?

I don't remember where it took place but I am almost sure it took place in the past. I don't think anything in the book was based or real life.

Well, I'm confused. If there were horses and cars, sounds like it must be speculative science fiction of some type. Maybe the society was less technological, if it wasn't based on anything in real life.

Surely can't be the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic, since there was no vaccine for that.

Bro, idk. It was not Sifi. I don't know if they made up fake sickness in a fake place or not

Huh, maybe alternative history.

There's Plague, but I don't think the girl's father is a doctor.

Did the book look old or new when you read it?

I am guessing the book was from the 2000s. But it did not look old. I got the book from the library
