reflective sad slow-paced

 The early parts of this book were strangely relatable for a situation that I actually had absolutely nothing in common with. Later parts were less relatable, but still compelling. 

 Partly open and honest, partly bleak and emotionally difficult. Probably worth a read if you're getting close to (or have experience with) the 'taking care of your parents' stage of life, and can handle all the difficult bits that are specific to the situation in the book.

I absolutely loved this! I work at a library and it happened to catch my eye while sorting books and thought it’d be interesting. I told myself I’d read a couple pages when I got home. I got home, started reading, and didn’t stop until I finished the book. SOOO amazing. Now I have to buy my own copy lol
