This book is certainly not lighthearted, but I really appreciated the author/characters making jokes in difficult or dark situations because that is also one of my tendencies/coping mechanisms. I found it a pretty funny book although parts were very dark and hard to get through. I found the relationship between the main characters to be funny, surprising, and enjoyable.

I have a mixed bag of feelings for this book. There are some parts which I loved, some parts which I hated and some parts which made me want to stop reading the book altogether. Apart from the typos (and there are a couple of them) and the utterly impossible thing of changing one’s perspective of life in a week, there are several reasons where the book is lacking. For one, it tries so hard to be  life changing and a missing puzzle piece that the readers missed even though it was right before their eyes! 

The first half simply drags on and on. I understand it’s about setting the foundation, the base of the story, the characters and the world where all of it is taking place, but I was bored and under-stimulated. It felt like I was reading a badly written fanfic by a emo teenager who doesn’t have any idea of what the world / reality is. The second half was slightly better. I enjoyed it.

If I read the word “pandemic” again, I’m going to be furious. This book didn’t delve deeper but wanted the benefit of the depth and impact of the pandemic. It was in a puddle and claimed to be a swimmer.

Another book that was too depressing, I couldn't finish it 😕 and it was a little.more graphic with sex. Then again, I found it in the adult section of my library so....it is an adult book not a teen book.

This author seems to like to write about sad things. I loved her book: Notes on your sudden disappearance. But again, it was another sad book written by her. Just be prepared to be very sad, if you're not already, when you read this book
