I enjoyed the first book but did not like this one. I found it slow and confusing. One storyline was decent and the other was not good. The way it would come together was easy to guess.

I also feel like if a book is going to rely this heavily on the pandemic, it needs to come with a heads up in the teaser. Not a trigger warning, but mention it because I would have self-selected out. The book doesn’t just mention the pandemic, it is a major part of the plot and talked about constantly. So much.

I was relieved when it was over.

I love the author’s other books and I’ll read the next one. This wasn’t for me.
