Easy read. The characters interesting. Not too many that you lose track of them. A little more development would make them more dimensional. Characters may seem like actors in a movie rather than “real” at times. Some aspects not realistic (e.g. a parent removing the clothing from a child who suddenly died a rather gruesome death) But a book doesn’t have to be totally realistic to be enjoyable. Not a book I thought too much about after I read it but enjoyed it very much while reading it. Good book for discussion on how people change or react in an emergency, devastating event, trauma.
