I loved this book!!! It's very subtle in the storytelling, and I actually really liked that. I love the shifting in tone when you finally understand what happens. This is definitely my kind of book.

I was already so intrigued by the premise of this, but it surpassed my expectations. I don't think I was ready for how meta the story would get with discussions of "the narrative." Quickly rocketed to one of my favorite books. It's one of those that I think I'll get more out of with each reread.

Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Gaslighting, Gun violence, Toxic friendship, and Schizophrenia/Psychosis

body horror and gore typical of zombie media; moderate description of implied postpartum depression; repeated reference to instance of mass murder, not in detail; the pandemic/epidemic takes the form of mass hallucination which may be reminiscent of forms of schizophrenia and/or psychosis, but are not literally intended to be depictions of such
