Day by Michael Cunningham
2.75
reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book takes place on a single day in April but of 3 different years: 2019, 2020, and 2021. Reading about these characters pre, during, and post lockdown stirred up a lot of feelings and some memories I had forgotten about. However, the characters fell a bit flat for me and while I think it captured what life was like, I don't think it did much else.
