annarella 's review for:

How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
5.0

It's not easy to review this book because it made me feel so many different emotions that I had to stop reading and start again after a bit.
There's heartbreak, some dark humour, and there're all the possible type of grief.
It's a set of short stories bound by a a pandemic caused by an unknown virus. It may seem dystopia but there's a real possibility that the the melting permafrost will release unknown virus.
The author did an excellent job in writing the different stories and creating some of the most heartbreaking scenario I've ever read.
I loved it and kept on thinking about it: bleak, dark, somehow related to our time. But there's also hope and positive emotions.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
