I found this novel incredibly interesting, especially considering how difficult the pandemic was for me. Not only did I graduate during this challenging time, but I also lost a relative to COVID-19. This novel really resonated with me. The characters were amazing, and the storyline was captivating. Normally, I prefer young adult novels, but this one completely changed my perspective. I've already recommended it to two of my bookish friends, and I'll definitely be recommending it to more. Reading this book was a pleasure, and I can't wait for more future books from this author. Lastly, I want to acknowledge all the families and individuals who suffered during the pandemic. Your pain is valid, and we stand with you. May your suffering ease, and may grief be gentle on all of us. A big thank you to Bookish First for giving me the opportunity to review this novel!
