A review by enbybooklove
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

The book is excellent and should be required reading for every human. The author himself came across as a little arrogant and I wish his workaholism had been acknowledged, but it is still an entirely necessary book.
