The chapters are disjointed at first, but the dates are always indicated, which helps the reading. The plot is interesting and takes its time without becoming too long, making this book a pleasure to read.

- Check the content heads-up because COVID pandemic times were prominent. It brought out all my gratefulness that we are no longer in 2021-2022, while also giving nostalgic feels for the quieting down of the world. But it could be too soon, too much, or too political depending on reader experiences.
- My favourite tropes + slow-burn made this a perfect match for me. If you’re looking for nuanced (or zero) COVID themes, or something where the stakes remain high and are plot driven, it could feel never-ending.
- Forever Young. Footsteps. Car doors. Skateboards. Doorbells. Silence. Knife chopping. Aromatic roast smells. Dessert spoons clinking. Zoom calls.
- Immersive, cinematic style strangeness and descriptive food and body horror
- Demented serial killer psychoanalysis
- Co-sleuthing with private investigator, missing persons mysteries
