I was hesitant about reading a “quarantine” book, but I fully enjoyed this one. It so poignantly spoke to the circumstances the pandemic brought into our daily lives. So many of the author’s feelings and experiences echoed mine and validated them somehow. It was a beautiful way to make peace with this past year. I loved the poems - simple, yet elegantly worded. They really resonated with me. The final story was a beautiful wrap up for the book and seemed to exemplify the good in humanity.
