I wanted to like this more. It had some good elements and potential; Harlem during summer in the 60’s. This book just was not executed in a way that got me interested in the characters. I didn’t really care about them or the story line. I can’t quit put my finger on why, perhaps too much going on, moving from story to story? There were some great blurbs/prose but it wasn’t enough to pull me and often found myself bored, wishing the book would end.

This just wasn’t for me. Maybe too soon for a book so focused on COVID? I understand why the twist was done the way it was, but it left me feeling blah about the book. I can appreciate her research and time spent talking to people who experienced this though.

An enjoyable listen. And really, how old is the cat?
