It took a moment to get past the fact that this was set during COVID (four years later but it's still a draining era), however, once I did I found the story incredibly enjoyable and thrilling. The twist was brilliant and caught me completely off guard. I didn't enjoy the ending, which is why I'm not rating it this higher, but I think it's a wonderful read and would definitely recommend it.

Setting every bit of my personal and professional opinions of the covid-19 pandemic aside, and there are many, ...I enjoyed this book for the twists and turns it took, and I appreciate the author's extensive research at the time to publish this novel in 2021.

Jodi captured a moment in time in such a unique way with unexpected twists and brining to light a topic I did not know anything about.

I did not think I was ready to read a book about covid. We are STILL living this for goodness sakes, how could I possibly be interested in reading about such a recent stressful past? The first chapter or so was not that intriguing to me, but I stuck it out and I was so glad that I did. The book is split down the middle with a big twist, and I can't decide which half I liked more.

This was a pleasant surprise and a very easy read

There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed but overall, not my favorite book. I did enjoy how it ended and how it all tied together but I did not enjoy the first half of the book.
