2020 book 30

Emily St John Mandel's The Glass Hotel
I was a bit reluctant to read the author's latest, bc how could she follow up Station 11? But I shouldn’t have doubted her, bc this was super engrossing. I will say that I read it on a plane, totally absorbed, except the plane landed ten minutes before I was done and I lost the thread a bit. Anyway, this novel is about a young addict, his half-sister (who has fallen into the ocean), a Ponzi scheme, and various other ppl moving in and out of the picture. I think I loved this but I’m not sure how well it all cohered? Who cares, I love Vincent! A.
