It took me awhile to feel ready to read the pandemic novel everyone was talking about, but I'm so glad I did. I finished it and just wanted to sit with the feeling for awhile, even to start back at the beginning. I don't always love too many POVs in novels, but in this case, each perspective added to the world the author was building.
Fair warning for the few who haven't read it yet: this book isn't just post-pandemic, but contains a lot of description of how the pandemic unfolded that you (like me) might find harder to read in its familiarity.
