Post-pandemic book that was written just before COVID. I was interested in the conceit and thought it was well-thought out, but did not personally enjoy reading what is essentially a pandemic novel (personal preference, not a fault of the book). I thought the second half of the book really dragged - too much evangelical christian bus travel and psychotic cross-country chasing when I was hoping for more details of what society was like, and finding out what happened after they escaped the US .
