Loved her other (newer) books, but found this one uninteresting. Might try again later.

Not a masterpiece, but it was interesting enough. Read this one after liking Station Eleven.

The book is very well written and I enjoyed reading it. The story unfolds in a unique way that kept me interested throughout. 

However, it didn’t quite stick the landing for me. Maybe I need to give it some time to think, but I’m a little confused by the ending.
