Thoroughly enjoyed this, and finished just in time for Christmas. What was especially interesting is seeing how surprisingly faithfully The Muppet Christmas Carol re-tells the story. A delightful read!

Gripping Read
5 stars
This was recommended to me and I went in knowing very little about it.
I found it to be a really gripping novel; hard to put down. I was really excited to see how the characters lives intersected and how they handled the trauma of the devastating pandemic.
The book tells the story of the characters at various stages of their lives ranging from many years before the pandemic, to around 20 years after. This gives a really interesting perspective on the characters, and keeps the pace of the book fast and interesting.
Highly recommended!

Eventually Enjoyable
4 stars
This was a slow start for me, perhaps because I didn’t initially grasp what the book was doing. As it progressed it all clicked and I loved it.
It's quite a moving story about people, first impressions, assumptions, and the impact we have on each other.
