Alone Together is a collection of essays and poetry that reflect on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is incredibly powerful. I connected to so many of the pieces and I'm sure others will too. From grieving simple things we can no longer do like sitting in a coffee shop or finding the joy in small things like the scent of lavender to looking for the good in people and community many have been able to build from this crisis.
At times, I found that I did struggle to read it. Perhaps that's because the pandemic is ongoing and it often reminded me of the struggles we continue to face. However, I think this collection will be so important in the future as it describes the impact of the pandemic on our emotions, relationships, and day to day lives.
I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley.

I received a free ALC from Netgalley and Podium Audio in exchange for my honest review.
I think I might have preferred this more in the physical format as I would have preferred to consume it a few essays at a time as it felt really long on audio and sometimes dragged on. However, I did enjoy the essays and poetry, and I especially enjoyed the full cast narration in the audio version.
