Popular Reviews of Once In a Lifetime

In this story, two women develop a romance in the wake of Covid. The two characters experience the difficulties of the pandemic; Faith, who is new to dating women, is lonely and finds some comfort in an online support group, and Charlie, who neglects her own desires, has commitment issues, and who the story fleshes out better, is a teacher whose students are struggling with being unable to be in person. The story captures the characters' struggles realistically and makes you sympathize with them. Besides the interactions between characters, the pandemic is present in the news snippets interspersed throughout the story, which establishes the timeline and setting. I feel like some plot points could have been expanded upon.
