The parts of this book that take place in 2020 are an amazingly accurate history of the mundane, mind-numbingly boring, infuriating and sudden events that occurred over that year; transitioning into work-from-home and stuck in quarantine and then just living in that space. And while I agree that he reused, I think verbatim, parts of his other book in regards to Simon's funeral, by the end it made sense as he did focus more on Jennifer and events that happened at that time as they pertained to her.

I look forward to buying each new book when they come out once a year. And I like the transition into more of essays with a common theme (even though they diverge quite a bit).
