On the one hand, it was such a great book. On the other hand, it spun me back into the covid brain, not to mention where I was emotionally at that point, from 2020 in an insanely surprising and intense way.

Still, the story was great. The story starts in March 2020. Eleanor is a doctor with the NHS who has a baby as this all starts. Gina is a young graphic artist who feels very pinned in when the lockdowns start happening. Then Gina becomes a babysitter for Eleanor's little girl, and the 3 of them become a bubble. And they get closer too. But, there are complications. And, of, course, there's COVID 19 too.

What was most impressive (aside from the covid parts eliciting such a strong reaction) was that never once was there a date subtitle. And, I know that I never needed one while reading the book (is that good or bad, *sigh*) I always knew which part of the covid hell year+ the story was in because Radley wrote it so well. I'm only sad that I probably wasn't quite as ready as I thought I was to read this book. It hit me so hard, still, almost three years later. But, again, though that sounds bad, it really is a credit to Radley's writing.
