The plot line was so interesting and kept me going. I didn’t read any of the other books that were adjacent to this one. I’m sure I missed some things, but I didn’t mind much. That doesn’t bother me generally as long as I can still follow the plot. One thing I do have to note is that the over focusing on covid really took me out of the plot. I understand why he wrote covid in, but every time there’d be a part with covid I’d be knocked out of the book and I’d have to put it aside for awhile. Also using covid for the slight amount of plot device felt sloppy.

I always look forward to the release of new Stephen King novels. Holly did not disappoint at all. I am looking forward to the next story that Holly appears in. This is a story which is easy to read and has a few pop culture and current event references that are timely as well. I give it five out of five stars.
