When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
5.0

I picked this book up at the recommendation of Anne Bogel of What Should I Read Next.

Paul's memoir is a story of happiness and accomplishment, which turns into a cancer diagnosis that changes his life. Paul went from being the doctor to being a patient. The book was written beautifully and I cannot imagine how hard it was for his wife to "finish" the book.

Paul seems like a wonderful person, husband, and doctor-- one who truly cared about his patients. This book made me feel so many deep emotions.

For people who love memoirs, this is a must read. Skip your B list celeb books and pick this one up!
