I can't put my finger on it but there's something about the author's choice of words that I absolutely enjoy! Every one of the books that I've read give me a sense of dreaming that I'm reading. And her storylines are always of personal experiences of the characters.
It's sad that her books are so rarely accessible in libraries and when they are available they're usually in physical formats only.

A unique topic, which is incredibly rare these days! So refreshing!
Unfortunately, it's a novella and could have used a bit more fleshing out on the transitions from one scene to another and a bit of a preamble rather than diving right in mid-conversation-like. But what's there is a great story that's just too short for my taste.

Better than the first book on action and suspense. Really enjoyed it!

Fascinating story; lots of suspense and a plausible wrap-up so we're not left hanging at the end.

Funny, intriguing concepts to contemplate, a plot that doesn't sound similar to one I've already read so yeah, I enjoyed it.

A good first read for the subject, however it only covers the first six months of 2020 and makes the situation sound like everything sort of ended on a high note when it came to Covid. If I remember correctly, things really kicked in later that year as the cold weather set in and people were back to being inside together for the winter and governments and institutions had to come to terms that this was not a short-term situation.
It does do a great job of putting the reader next to each of these early-graduation interns; their personal lives and their interactions at their various jobs. I hope someone is still following this year of medical and nursing students to see the longer impact positively and negatively across many areas of their life and writes a book on it for me to read.

As I'm from a different culture, I had a hard time distinguishing similarly sounding names to their respective characters and found it difficult to figure out who just had what happen to them. I did enjoy the growth of the main character and how the author addressed a grown woman in mens' clothing in a male dominated world.
I understand there's a second book after this but this isn't a series I'll pursue.

The summary sounds interesting but by 25% in, neither the plot nor the characters were intriguing enough to hang in for.
