I enjoyed the story line and the way the story is told through out the novel. Every time you think you have all the information, something different is brought to light. 
Didn’t know starting the book that it was set during Covid times. I would’ve waited to read it if I had known - it’s all still a bit too fresh since I am writing this review in bed with Covid myself (mild thankfully). I appreciated the authors explanation at the end about why she set during the current pandemic and agree with her about capturing a moment in time, which she does depict very well, but it’s just a smidge too close and didn’t help the desire for escapism. Would’ve been 4 stars if not for the Covid setting.
