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.

The word that first comes to mind when I think about this book is “sweeping.” It is so lush and expansive, but it also gets pretty deep with all of the characters. I love a book with multiple, intertwined narratives and seeing the way everything meshes together. Unfortunately, I do think the resolution of the central conflict was anticlimactic and the way everything ended was just a bit too perfunctory for my liking. Also super glad I didn’t read this right when the pandemic was really happening or I think I would’ve had a mental breakdown.

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.
