3.0

I would offficially give this booka 6/10 aka 3 stars. There were some parts that had me reading for three hours and others that had me skipping pages. 

Pros: Good descriptions of characters and the pandemic in general. I liked that the writing allowed me  to connect the dots in the midst of the story and go back to see if i was right / if the plot point was foreshadowed initially.

Cons: Too many characters that couldn’t be thoroughly fleshed out. I personally think the writing should’ve just been focused on Sarah, Owen, and Elliott. I didn’t gaf about ARAMIS girl nor Stuy and his wife. Some information was needlessly given for sake of description and became a bore to read. AND THE ENDING OMG. The ending sucked so bad. Now i understand literature critiques about endings because the ending was so rushed and she just killed half the characters off lmao.
