This book is a perfect example of how our lives are woven together. How the little things you do or say might have a huge impact. And despite taking place in what could be considered a post-apocalyptic world, this books is far from hopeless. There is always hope to be had, and this books proves it. From the quote on the wagons of the Traveling Symphony to the very end of the book, there is hope everywhere.
Also, the writing of the book is amazing. This might be the best example of prose as pure art I have ever seen. There are so many scenes, phrases, and quotes that stick in my brain, even months or years after reading this book. (In fact, I am heavily considering getting a quote from this book as a tattoo.)
My words don’t do this book justice. Please just read it for yourself.
Moderate: Death and Terminal illness
Minor: Death of parent and Violence
I mean, it does deal with a disease that wipes out most humans on Earth. Even having read it before it made me a bit anxious reading it again in early 2020. While description of the actual suffering of those infected is not graphically described, there is a lot of mentions of death and the devastating effects of this disease.lynxpardinus's review against another edition

Graphic: Pandemic/Epidemic, Medical content, Suicide, Adult/minor relationship, Child death, Death, Gun violence, Kidnapping, and Violence
Moderate: Toxic relationship, Blood, Colonisation, Death of parent, Injury/Injury detail, Mental illness, Ableism, Alcohol, Animal death, Drug use, Infidelity, Pedophilia, and Religious bigotry
Minor: Rape and War
Adult/minor relationship warning is partially for a couple who met when one was a minor. Ableism warning is for the trope of a disabled character dying as part of an abled character's story. Colonisation warning is just in case, for discussion of Israel in a normalized light.larbster90's review against another edition
