While this apocalyptic story jumped around in time lines and POV quite a bit, the way the characters lives were woven together and interconnected was pretty magical. Having lived through a very minor version of a pandemic in comparison this brought me back to the beginning of it and how we all thought it would pass quickly and how two years later we still found ourselves in it. I’m glad I waited to read this story so a little time has passed since that time. I think it was better to have that history to embrace this amazing and believable story of what life could be like if a worse flu finds us.
