At this point I would read everything Emily St. John Mandel writes. Her writing style and her stories are just so special.
I love the melancholic atmosphere and the way she constructs the plot. The different characters with unique voices and stories that seem so random but are somehow connected to each other. I love these connections. One of the revelations was pretty obvious very early on but I still liked the way it was explained bit by bit.
The beginning of the pandemic was so eerie, the world that turned into a giant lost place strangely exciting to explore. I could write so much more about the characters I fell in love with, the friendships and found families formed in impossible times, the world I felt so much for, the small details. And I wish there was more. This book could go on forever.
