I had been wanting to read this one for ages and wish I had gotten to it before 2020. I would have loved to have done a reading both pre- and post- 2020/2021 just to see how my thoughts on it changed. I related to so so many things in this book and while this was clearly a much deadlier virus than covid, there were still so many similarities in actions and emotions surrounding a pandemic. 

Some of the storylines were a bit slow for me and didn't hold my attention. I also felt like there were some unfinished bits and pieces at the end that needed to be wrapped up. Overall, a great read and am looking forward to reading more from the author.
