I only read this because I got it free for interning at the Boston Book Festival and it is super short.

Basically a straight drive down memory lane. Unfolds like a series of journal entries from the early days of the pandemic. Not exactly a pleasant experience.

Really plain. Needed Grimes to do more with her premise. But this works as a cool time capsule of sorts.
