Things I loved about this book:

• Truly captures the feelings of isolation and what it means to not only distrust others but mainly yourself
• The desensitization of a population, thanks to quick access to violence and deplorable world news, really sets the landscape of both feeling too much and not feeling enough
• The moments of gore were visceral and had me feeling nauseous at times (which I don't have in many horror books!)

Things that didn't work for me:

• I'm not sure it has any moments that will necessarily stick with me any more than other stories set around a pandemic/apocalypse
• I go back and forth on how I feel about the vagueness of some significant plot points, while it lead to great discussions within book club, I'm not sure I feel satisfied as an individual reader
