I am halfway through listening to it. It is a timely story about Covid, but I am so turned off with the arrogant and brashish nature of the main character in the book. She is a tourist and has that "I am better than you" attitude - towards the locals, while being stuck on an island on vacation. And then she has all the answers to the problems of a teenage girl she meets while waiting for a flight home. Really irritating.(less)
