Severance
notes
a lot of folks are likely gonna walk away dissappointed because of setting
expectations for what kind of endings they want.
i'm not a fan myself, but i don't think it takes away from the great writing and
character development. it's still unbelievable this book was written before the
covid-19 pandemic. it feels like a playbook...
i think the author is doing something right when you don't agree with the
protagonist, their views and decisions in their life, but you still want the
best for them.
