Book cover for How High We Go in the Dark

This was a really surreal take on a pandemic that wipes out a good portion of the Earth. One example being that they decided to build rollercoasters that would euthanize sick kids that were strapped in without them realising (?!) The first half was pretty depressing because it was just death, death and more death but the second half felt a bit more hopeful. Giving it a 3.5 since it was written well but felt uncomfortable to read at times, and took me a couple of weeks to come back and finish.
