It's important to note that in this book, the COVID-19 pandemic is over, but there are many references to it. What hurt my heart most is that the world came together to do what was needed to stop the pandemic...and that isn't what happened in the real world. So to clearly see this alternate reality in which there are no masks and everyone can freely be around others because everyone got the vaccine (and wore masks/socially distanced) is a little heartbreaking. It's very in-character for the world of Three Pines, but never have I more fervently wished that the Three Pines reality was ours.

There are some tough topics in this one. The long-ago death of a child with severe disabilities is discussed in detail, a 22-year-old woman who survived being enslaved, tortured, and raped for years is a focal character, and the lasting effects of a long ago mental health doctor who forcibly held his patients captive and tortured them in the name of science are covered. Some of those patients went on to die by suicide. And then there's the thesis put forward by Abigail Robinson. Behind a spoiler cut even though it's pretty clear within a chapter what it is.leslie_overbookedsocialworker's review against another edition
