2.0

I was so excited about this book, but ended up disappointed. The characters were one dimensional stereotypes who sat around telling stories—mostly pretty bleak ones.   It’s unfortunate because this novel had so much potential.  Sure it took place during the Covid lockdown, but I didn’t expect it to be so depressing. And that ending? Convenient.
