4.0

Beautiful writing and interesting to see a book set in the pandemic that reflects on some of the impact we lived through. The story itself felt more about the journey than the plot while still having an interesting plot. Moments of the pacing felt off to me. I also felt rubbed the wrong way (slight spoiler ahead)
by the mc’s thought of there’s plenty of time for her children to change their mind about children.


Overall an enjoyable book club read.
