I very much preferred this to Sea of Tranquility. Those first 30 or so pages are a tough read, and hit a little too close to home (the toilet paper line got me [ I'm very glad I read this after covid]), but the rest is nicer. Jumps around the timeline a ton, but once you know to expect it it works beautifully.
Graphic: Animal death, Death, Emotional abuse, Suicide, Violence, Blood, Kidnapping, Religious bigotry, Murder, Gaslighting, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Moderate: Gun violence
Minor: Rape
