This is a really interesting premise but unfortunately it involves a pandemic. I have Covid fatigue and have no desire to read pandemic books for a few years.

This was a SPECTACULAR work of pandemic fiction. Oh my goodness. So many important messages, characters, and viewpoints. I loved every moment of The Violence! Well... Except for some of the animal violence. That was very hard to read. Definitely recommend folks check triggers or reach out to me about that if they're interested in reading.
