Loved this. Thought I may not like this but too many friends gave it good reviews to not read. Quoting a quote because I cannot do this book justice.

I'm not usually one for "apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic" books - but I'm glad I picked this up. I would have liked a little more of the book to be devoted to the period during/immediately after the pandemic, but it was great nonetheless! ...more

This is a really well crafted, interesting read. My only issue is the genre. I really struggle with apocalyptic story lines. The book with haunt you and keep you thinking.
