While reading, I really wanted to know when this book was written. It talks about the Spanish Flu and there were just so many parallel to COVID. Then, it was written prior to COVId, it shows people are generally the same, and we don’t really learn from the past. 

The MC leaves her family home after her father and brother kill a German man. She is disgusted by their actions. 

She moves in with a women named May and starts seeing who she thinks is the brother of the German man who was killed. 

It turns out she was already dead and that the German man she was seeing was the one her family killed and everyone she interacted with was dead. 

She tries to convince them to all go to have fun at this jazz club instead of being stuck. 

The book was too slow. The uninvited part didn’t really make sense or play into it until the very end.

Gave me Great Gatsby vibes and I also don’t like that book
