Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

I wish I liked this better, I really do, but I won't lie... it was kind of a handful for me.
Maybe I have also been reading too much dystopia lately, because I definitely read something a bit lighter now.
We follow a disparate group of characters and move back and forth between their lives before and after the beginning of the end of the world.
Do not imagine some apocalyptic action book, but more a calm representation of different characters and their lives before and after the end. And find out that these people don't necesarily change, but that they mostly just have more bagage to bear.
Maybe my heart and mind were more involved in the other book, I was reading, but I really didn't get into the story or the characters. The character that spoke to me the most was only focused on briefly, so that didn't help either.
