3.5

This gets 3.5 because of the pace and the ending. At first the book was kinda slow-paced, but then as the story went on, it got faster. I did really like this book though, even though it got pretty morbid at the end

Slow start, but by the second half I couldn’t put it down. Not my favorite ending, but enjoyed the book overall.

It has been years since I have been able to read fiction for fun, let alone in about a week. I tore through this book, happy to see queer character representation, as well as an intriguing and somewhat reality grounded plot. Emotionally difficult to read at times I had to take pauses. What a read to find that was written  a year pre pandemic about disease.
