Honestly expected to like this much more than I did!! None of the relationships felt super poignant to me, so instead I was just… reading a book about a terrifying pandemic when I didn’t love any of the characters? Ashley Spivey really hyped this one and now I’m not sure whether I’d like the author’s earlier works. It felt like we were supposed to believe in the friendships (it’s in the title!) when they actually felt very peripheral to the characters’ journeys in the book.
