These [COVID] elements provided the story with a layer of reality that didn't feel depressing,

“Most authors [have] avoided any references to Covid, I guess because no one wanted to be reminded of the real-world woes. Ms. Kallmaker chose to incorporate those issues in her fictional world, talking about real problems such as unemployment and how the pandemic affected life in general. These elements provided the story with a layer of reality while, at the same time, didn’t feel depressing. Kudos to Ms. Kallmaker to navigate that fine line.” – Gaby on Goodreads
