#1 The incel character threw me off and then I got more invested in other books. Sad to not read it during the season, but for the sake of the vlog I will take it with me to read in Southern Hemisphere summer :)

#2 The overriding feeling of hope that this book leaves in its readers is incredible, especially considering it leads up to and includes the pandemic... I hope this is what I remember of lockdown one day.
