I’m really trying with this book but she’s acting like NYC would be a ghost town after losing 100,000 people. That’s only 1% of the population. That means there’s still 8,300,000 people still alive and kicking. Approximately. And yet every building is empty, every car abandoned, tv stations off the air, it’s basically an abandoned war zone. I’m not buying it. Nope.

I think reading this before a pandemic would’ve been more entertaining. Now I’m just like… nope… the government would not be that organized that quickly… 🤣😂

Still loving this book. Still feeling a bit like I’m poking my head into an alternate timeline to see how their pandemic compares to our pandemic. 🎃

It’s quite an experience reading about a pandemic while living through one. I find myself critiquing this (unfairly) about what it gets wrong about a pandemic and how and when the government would respond. Even though when she wrote it, she was just guessing about it all. But now I read it going… “Nope. You got that wrong. That’s not how that works.” 😂

DNFing at 25%. I just can’t with this book. It’s too unrealistic. We’ve experienced SEVEN TIMES the amount of deaths mentioned in this book from our pandemic and basically life is the same, toilet paper shortages not withstanding. And yes I realize life is very different now, generally speaking, from 2019, I get that. But not different enough that you’d be the one of a dozen few people left in a city. Not that many people have died to make that remotely believable. It’s really pulling me out of the story.
