It's crazy to think that it was written before the pandemic, while reading I couldn't stop seeing parallels.
I liked the story, it was quite emotional and the issue of loss is well written in my opinion.
What disturbed me are the numerous pov. It's nice to see how different people are copying with the situation, but the chapters are quite short so I didn't really have time to get into the story of the narrator that it was already someone else. Plus, some characters had more chapters than other and I was disappointed not to hear more about some of them.
