The Things That Keep Us Here by Carla Buckley

4.0

I'm not sure how I stumbled across this boos or why I haven't read it earlier? A very well thought novel about a Pandemic and a Columbus, OH family trying to survive it. The pace of this book is beautiful... it just keeps building. And the conflicts are gut wrenching on many levels. Most of all, it's not too sentimental - there isn't a great, good, happy ending for all. The only thing I really don't like about this book is the title- I get it at the end, it comes full circle. But it really just doesn't work for me as the title.
