Read May 2023 Predictable and drawn out It’s bizarre to read a book with so many characters in which the author has no idea how to write a straight love story. I was a bit disgusted with the way having children was described. This author must not have any. Would not recommend.

Finished 5/1/23 Not exactly the ending I expected, but it pulled it all together. Helps one appreciate the intricacies of parenting and the familial patterns that one has to work to break.

Finished 4/18/23 A fast read, I appreciate a happy ending

Finished 4/16/23 A bit of a slog, helpful at times Definitely a bit contradictory, not enough acknowledgement of “in between”

Finished 4/1/23 Not as funny as the original But heartwarming nonetheless

Finished 3/29/23 Disjointed and strange, the lack of character development makes it difficult to enjoy. Totally unbelievable, even supposing it’s “science fiction”. People won’t commute to the moon yet still go to physical book signings and carry coins. An obvious pandemic novel - this is probably a new genre - pandemic fiction. I’m not a fan. Dystopian is probably the right word.

Finished 3/23 Interesting and thought-provoking A bit depressing toward the end, for all the history it begins with, the ending is highly speculative

Finished 3/12/23 Epic but anticlimactic, the ending seemed rushed for such a long (sometimes drawn out story) I found myself not liking any of the characters

Finished 3/5/23 Hilarious and heartwarming Read in less than 2 days

Finished 3/2/23 Tragic
