Honestly, more like a 2.25-2.5. This was a text book I had for a class and it did increase my knowledge about the subject. However, the overall writing style was not my favorite, filled with repetition (I.e. most likely, no one reading it is unaware of the 2020 COVID pandemic and needed constant mentions of it). The authors were also. It shy in sharing plenty of opinion in the writing. Many of them I agree with, but they felt out of place in a text book.
