3.5
I’ve been floundering between a 3.5 and a 4 star rating for this book, but ultimately settled on 3.5 because it just didn’t live up to the expectations for me.
The writing is absolutely STUNNING. And there are some really amazing moments in this story, but the beginning was a little slow and I didn’t expect how heavy handed the pandemic talk would be throughout, since Station Eleven was also about a pandemic. That being said, Olive Llewellyn’s POV was my favorite. And the audible gasp I had when everything came together in the end!! It was a satisfying story, but just not what I came in expecting.
Overall, the story has a very haunting quality to it, something that you might be caught unexpectedly thinking about from time to time.

There's an obvious author insert character which I wasn't sure about at first but I came round to it.
The first few chapters meander and you have to wait for it to come together, it did for me and it was beautiful
