I really enjoyed Severance, though its a strange read. There are three different storyline, Candace in the 'Now' post Shen pandemic, Candace pre Shen pandemic, specifically the 5 years pre pandemic focusing on her day to day life and work life, and the story of Candace's immigrant family.

I don't know how it worked, but somehow it did and I really enjoyed it.

This was such a Sunday read - perfect little bitesized chunks to read over the day.

I enjoyed this one more than the first one. Maybe because I knew the backstory?
