5.0

An absolutely beautiful, heart wrenching read. It’s is very emotional and heavy, but perfectly captured the emotional turmoil the pandemic has taken on society. I felt the anthology style story telling added to the number of lives that were touched by the pandemic, and wove those pieces together really well. 

Definitely took me longer to read than most other books have recently due to the heaviness of the content, but I also don’t think that’s a bad thing. It allowed me to really soak in the material.
