Author accurately described as "pop-song like" - quick fun read with neat inclusion of 2020 pandemic setting. Flat character arcs and overly quippy/smarmy dialogue left me feeling largely disengaged from the scenes, but I did appreciate the diversity and politics represented by the suite of characters.

predictable but entertaining and fun. a quick read that will definitely be a tv show or movie in a few years. hopefully they don't ruin the adaptation because it would be great!
