The synopsis of this book sounded promising and I had really hoped to like it but it was just “okay”

The storyline flipped back and forth from all sorts of time eras which I found hard to keep up with. I understood the book was going to be one you needed to activate your imagination around but I just couldn’t be sold on it.

Basically Cora lives on an island by herself and is visited one day by Finn who has more or less discovered family secrets. But in order for anyone to visit Cora you have to have a hazmat suit and pray you don’t breathe the same air. It’s a family affair full of horrific body experiments going back over a hundred years. It’s a tragic story reading everything Cora has gone through but very hard ( for ME) to wrap my head around the whole storyline to make sense.

The ending was annoying. Total cliffhanger but I have no desire to read the follow up to it. Not my fave read.

Ending with a fast fact: This was the first book I’ve read which incorporates the coronavirus.
