Dear Life: A Doctor's Story of Love and Loss by Rachel Clarke

4.0

“It’s hard isn’t it? A story that starts with us jetting off and crossing continents, climbing mountains and laughing in the face of the storm ends up in a bed in a hospice. With a driver pushing drugs into an arm. A tube carrying away urine. Tiny sips from a straw. Sleep and an end. What a robbery. What a betrayal.”

The first half of this book was mediocre, maybe a 1.5/5. I’ve read a few books about end-of-life care and this one didn’t compete.

The second half of this book punched me in the gut and it ended with me ugly crying.
