I did want a little bit more of the sci-fi elements, though. I felt by the end that I'd had enough glimpses into people and their loss and wanted more on the initial spreading of the plague from chapter one, the intergalactic exploration, or even more from that last chapter.
I also felt that there may have been too many characters and points of view, I'd have loved to revisit some or just spend more time on those chapters.
In saying this, it was still a wonderful exploration of human nature in the face of a disaster, largely showing instances of loss, love, and grief. I also think I might reread this sometime, given that I went in withoit reading the blurb and didn't expect the format, and so I felt like I didn't get everything out of this book that I could've.
