This is the kind of book that makes me wish I was still in school and could analyze in English class. The fact that this was published in 2018 is wild to me with how spot on some of the characters mindsets to a pandemic are.
I tend to not enjoy when books have open endings, and this was no exception BUT I do feel that it fits with Candace’s sort of aimless personality.
