A Romance COVID-19 Novel Is Written And Is Weirder Than It Sounds

So it seems Amazon is selling a steamy 16-page e-book about the Coronavirus. “Kissing the Coronavirus” by M.J. Edwards is basically about a female doctor who ends up falling in love with the Coronavirus after a vaccine trial gone wrong.

It tells the story of Dr. Alexa Ashingtonford, a scientist tasked with finding a cure for the Coronavirus who ends up falling for the enemy. When a trial vaccine is injected into a fellow scientist, he dies and becomes the virus in human form, leaving the good doctor overcome with desire. As the book’s description explains – “She was supposed to cure the Coronavirus. Instead… she fell in love with it.”

It’s only 99 cents and has a current 4 out of 5-star rating. One reviewer wrote: “I don’t know whether to give this 5 stars or 1 star. Don’t get me wrong, this book is awful. Absolutely horrible. But in the best possible way. It is exactly what I wanted it to be.” Another wrote: “This was hands down the funniest thing I’ve read. Disgusting, disturbing, medically inaccurate, but such a fun read.”
