I liked it overall but once the online chatroom conversations with the kid showed up and were super unrealistic, it broke my immersion somewhat and made me wonder if the 1500s setting was just as poorly portrayed. Also was bothered by how the woman narrator from the 1500s, once she >!married the farmer guy in the end, became absolutely nothing - she was barely mentioned again, only in the context of being a mother, while the husband's story and perspective continued!<. Thought it was maybe unconscious bias on the writers part. Still enjoyed the book very much overall, but ultimately left feeling like it was a lesser sort of Station 11. Need to read All the Light You Cannot See next!

It was a famous movie at the time! With Dolly, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin. You should check it out, it's funny.
