I’m always intrigued at “pandemicky” that were actually written pre-pandemic. It’s always interesting to see how an author thinks people would react in these circumstances and comparing it to our (by now) real experiences. In this case it all felt very realistic, with an added scifi edge of more technical developments to get rid of as much human contact as possible. 
The two main characters were great, especially Luce. I like the character growth in Rosemary and seeing her discover the world outside and overcome her fears. 
All in all it was a very powerful book, with many great quotes about human connection and the power of music.
