This book is really eerie after having gone through the COVID-19 pandemic in our lifetime.  Never really felt a connection with any of the characters, but the book was very well written and engaging.  Bet it'd be even better on a reread.

This story jumps around  through time between pre and post collapse of civilization centering around a single man, Arthur, and all the people's lives he's touched in different ways.

The story opens with Arthur's death on the night of the collapse at a play performance. Some of the people we follow are his ex-wives, his son, his best friend, and a little girl who was a co-star at the play.

I wasn't personally attached to the story, but there wasn't anything wrong with it either.

I read this for an English class and was pleasantly surprised, it gets a four because the ending was dissatisfying but other than that it was good.
