" [...] Staring into the fridge, he imagined veganism was a plot by women to take over the planet by eliminating fertile men. [...]" "Maybe it's about time" is a literary debut. In my opinion, with this book, the author wanted to show us what the beginning of the Covid pandemic was like in the UK. How NHS workers, wealthy people and, unfortunately, those who could barely make ends meet dealt with it. I'm glad the author presented it from this perspective. Covid-19 has shown us what and who really matters in life. Will our heroes cope with this pandemic? In my opinion, "Maybe it's about time" is a successful literary debut. I haven't cried so much while reading in a long time. The ending gave me a lot to think about. The author left himself a window open to continue this story. I cared about the fate of the children in this novel, and I would love to know what would happen next. Do you like open endings? Does a book always have to have a good ending? "Maybe it's about time" is a big fat book. Still, it's worth reading. I met heroes here such as: Marcus Barlow, the main character, likes listening to music on Spotify. He works at "The Firm". He has a daughter, Olivia, and a son, James. His wife is Alice. Marcus is a stickler and often swears when something doesn't go his way, which annoys his wife. He's paranoid about germs and almost fifty-five years old. At first, I didn't like this hero, but as the pages went on, he gained in my eyes. Why? It is worth knowing its history. The next heroine is a young, single mother. She raises her two children, a five-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter. She can barely make ends meet. I liked this character. Even though life gave her quite a hard time, she always moved forward. She has wonderful neighbours. Unfortunately, she cannot count on her family. Will she find someone to help her during the greatest trial in her life? There is one more hero who deserves attention. But you will find out about them yourself. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
