From what I’d previously heard about this book, I was expecting more horror or thriller elements. Once I realized that wasn’t accurate, I had to set those expectations aside and enjoy the story for what it was. I liked how the stories all intertwined, although I liked reading about some characters more than others. I would’ve liked a bit more focus on Kristen and the Symphony.
Annoying trope ofdisabled people killing themselves because they’re a burden—not once, but twice.
Still, I loved the writing style. I hope to read more from Emily St. John Mandel.
