epellicci's review
I was so excited by the premise of this book, but felt so let down by the execution. It takes a naïve and at times voyeuristic look at the lives of the homeless that were housed by the Prince Rupert Hotel during the Covid Lockdown's. The writing was overly focused on creating saviours of the rich owners than the homeless guests themselves. The whole thing felt simplistic and disappointing.
