No plot just vibes, the vibes are kinda weird and quirky but a slay if you like the Black Death as a historical era, very meaningless but has some very very gorgeous writing (so if you're a pretty writing girlie you might vibe)

the second half of this is a bit of a slay but the story is soooo slow to start and there's wayyy too much going on. i WISH we got to see the consequences more than "the story was published, thats it" - like the ending was SO abrupt. also please lets not have social media in books anymore because those tweets were so cringe im sorry
