I think it’s possible the writing style, genre, and general plot all had part in making me put this book down for good.

Descriptions of front line medical workers and patients in NYC who did not survive the early COVID-19 pandemicmlovesbooks's review against another edition
The only reason I haven't DNF'd is because my mom recommended I listen to this audiobook. It feels white savior-y: white, privileged woman gets stuck on the Galápagos Islands during what was supposed to be a vacation but turns out to be the first few weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic and "saves" a family on the island by promoting communication and empathy... Hmm.
I wrote that as a note in my journal entries. I told my mom I wasn't loving the boon and she straight up said, Then stop reading it. Okay then, I will.
