There was too much telling rather than showing, especially when it comes to Sally’s internal dialogue and character development. The romance was fun but not incredibly convincing, both Sally and Noah are kind of lukewarm. The political commentary felt one dimensional and performative while the pandemic plot took me out of the story. The epilogue felt like reading the conclusion paragraph to that college essay you wrote at 11:58 PM before it was due.

Moderate: Pandemic/Epidemic and Panic attacks/disorders
