Touching and Hopeful
4 stars
An easy read, and the crossovers with her other books were interesting. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Lovely
5 stars
I found this touching and hopeful, I liked how poignantly the characters were drawn, and the themes of kindness and the vicissitudes of life.
My main complaint was that I think the simulation theory stuff was basically an unnecessary macguffin and didn't add to the themes (at least as far as they interested me).

A hopeful pandemic novel
4 stars
I liked the story of isolated humans trying to find meaning in their lives, all tangled together and touched by the miraculous. It left me feeling hopeful and reassured.

Nice short book. Nothing groundbreaking but adequately conveyed it's purpose.
