Honestly this was an excellently written book and would have gotten 4+ stars if not for the turn into the pandemic. I nearly dnf’d it when we arrived at July 2020 and were in full lockdown but I held out because the book was interesting and I was invested in the characters. That being said, I hate when Covid becomes a plot point simply because I want my fiction books to be fictional. Also the whole second chapter of reading email correspondences for 30+ pages nearly lost me but I do understand why that choice was made especially since it was set during the pandemic. Overall I’d be interested in reading other books by this author cuz I do like her writing style I just had a hard time with the last 2/3 of the book being set in a pandemic.
