This was an enjoyable read for the most part, though it was probably not the best life choice, in terms of the constantly thrumming anxiety in the back of my mind, to continue reading this after being exposed to covid. I couldn't always make sense of the way chapters transitioned into each other and the book did end somewhat abruptly. But I did learn things!
