This felt like a mix between Station 11 and Dark Water Sister. I liked it well enough. The non-linear story telling made it interesting. But I felt like I've read this story before? It didn't feel unique or original. After having lived through a pandemic and seeing that this was published Pre-Covid, her semi-accuracy about face masks was funny. A book of this caliber of writing using the word jizz through me off. Ling Ma is an excellent writer, but I just wanted something more unique.
