While some authors have chosen to write stories that ignore the pandemic, Jodi Picoult chose to dive in the heart of the first lockdown period, when there was so little knowledge about the coronavirus and so much fear and tragedy going on in the world. But she does it with a very original take, touching different human feelings and struggles along the way. I simply loved this book!

This book was insightful and compelling. I have not read any books about the pandemic and this one told an intriguing story while also being well researched.

Difficult to follow; the plot change was confusing; also very triggering as someone who worked Covid. I wish I had known the story content before reading.

This was good! I love Jodi so I knew I was going to enjoy this. She just writes such unique stories with real life things that make you think. There’s a twist in this that I didn’t see coming and I don’t know if I actually liked it or the ending to be honest. Diana actually frustrated me and she just felt kind of selfish the whole book. I appreciated Jodi adding Finn and him talking about Covid and how horrible it was. This was also a little triggering so trigger warning for self harm, which the topic was done well. I liked learning more about the island and art as well. I think of you enjoy her books you’ll enjoy this one, it is a little different from her other books because there’s not multiple perspectives and opinions which I’ve come to know her for, which isn’t a bad thing just different.

This book will mess you up and set you back again like Evermore by Taylor Swift. Do not plan anything after hour five.
