I have followed and read Maris Kreizman's work on books for a while now so was excited when I learned she was publishing this collection of essays. The book is aptly titled for our current state of the world but is a hopeful collection overall, focused on the strength of collective action and mutual aid. Her writing on diabetes and how her chronic illness affects her life is especially strong. I especially recommend the audiobook which Kreizman reads herself. I also loved all of the recommended reading at the end, which has left me with excellent additions to my to be read pile.
