I'm an avid reader and have all of Stephen King's books. Although I disagree with his opinions of Trump and COVID, it is completely believable that Holly would feel the way she did. Even with her incredible personal growth, she would still have reacted to COVID exactly as written. I was hesitant to begin reading after seeing the reviews, but I am happy I did. It was a pleasure to watch Holly grow and she's become a remarkable woman. The story was another dark place that I love traveling to and that no one can take me to quite the way Stephen King does. I'm proud to be one of Stephen King's Constant Readers and look forward to the next trip!
