Reviews with content warning for Suicidal thoughts - Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life

Started this book over a year ago, stopped at page 35. Felt I wasn’t in a good enough place to read it.
Finished it today. This book was a recommendation from the shop keeper, after I had asked for something with light in it.
This book feels like an afternoon spent under the branches of a tree; luminous at times, too bright to keep your eyes open, and you get lost figuring out shapes in the clouds of the author’s thoughts. I resonated with her relationship to language; writing; memory.
This memoir feels like a delicate watercolor.

A beautiful, quiet yet heartfelt meditation on life and death, writing and reading, and what makes life worth living.

Just didn't love the writing style and felt that because the author tried so hard to distance herself from the subject that I found myself not caring about the story at all. Very philosophical which isn't really my favorite
