Meh...such an interesting concept that is wasted.
Almost all of the protagonists are the same person rich,white, loves their husband and kids. Like boooring. If u r gonna write about how wealth helps people in unusual circumstances this isn't the way. Also there is no way anything mentioned related to viruses and ect. is actually factual i don't need books to be super realistic but having some understanding about the idea ur plot is based on is the bare minimum anyways don't read this if u want to end up in a reading slump xoxo

No es un mal libro, pero no es para mi.
No fue nada de lo que esperé.

El libro habla mucho sobre el matrimonio y la maternidad, cosas que a mi me son bastante ajenas. Y justo por eso, se me hizo un poco pesado y me costó empatizar con los personajes.

(3,5 Sterne für mich)

Die Geschichte spielt in naher Zukunft, in der Männer an einer sehr tödlichen Grippe erkranken.

Die Kapitel sind aus der Sicht ganz unterschiedlicher Frauen geschrieben und wie sie mit der dramatischen Situation umgehen.
Hier musste ich mir Notizen machen, andernfalls hätte definitiv den Überblick verloren, denn es sind um die 15 Frauen.

Insgesamt fand ich das Buch sehr spannend. Man kommt echt schnell durch weil viel passiert und es echt dramatisch ist. Auch der Aspekt, wie sich die Frauen verhalten und was mit der Gesellschaft passiert, wenn fast alle Männer aussterben, ist sehr interessant zu lesen.

Ich finde es erstaunlich, dass das Buch kurz vor der Corona-Pandemie fertig gestellt wurde und sich tatsächlich viele Punkte in unserer Pandemie-Realität wiedergefunden haben.
