I didn't want to read another book about the pandemic but what makes this book truly impressive is that Mandel published it far sooner than the covid pandemic of 2020.

It was a bit triggering for me but I was able to get through it because of the human-ness of the characters. I found it to be very suspenseful and finished it quickly despite its length and my reluctance to revisit pandemic life. Very good job, would recommend to lovers of apocalyptic stories and sci-fi.
