Sorryyy. Maybe a 1.5? I waited for my bookclub meeting to discuss it with everyone and they seemed to agree with me. This book was all over the place, switched timelines, and the character everyone revolved around was entirely unlikable. Too little too late for him to “reform” when he did.

Also, maybe I'm a terrible person but I KEPT COMPARING IT TO “THE STAND.” Terrible of me but some scenes were similar and it was so hard not to compare.

Ultimately I couldn't keep up with all the chapters changing so frequently (sometimes every 3 pages), the changing POVS, and the influx of characters in a very short timespan.
