Cicadas: A Totally Ordinary Epic Love Story

Same Time, Next Year or [b:28 Summers 52588078 28 Summers Elin Hilderbrand https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1572261156l/52588078.SY75.jpg 71307449], but make it 17-year cicada cycles. DNF, skimmed through last 50%. I liked both MCs, but there was not enough plot to sustain a 400+ page book. Also, maybe it's not such a great idea to include recent political events in your “epic love story.” I was not in the mood for reminders of COVID's first terrible year or the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Plus the Democrat = good, Republican = bad theme seems so naively simple in the summer of 2024. Finally, having recently lived through the Brood XIX emergence in Missouri, I have a hard time finding anything about cicadas romantic. YMMV if you didn't have to shovel their dead bodies off your driveway, or suspend your daily walk outdoors for fear of bombardment.
