I’m glad that I read this after the pandemic instead of when it first came out. I understand that feeling of “what if was the last time I ate an orange”. I fell like if I read this when it first came out I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as I did. I’m a big fan of stories that show how people kind of weave in and out of each others lives, often times with very little fan fare. This checked a lot of boxes for me.
