I’m not quite sure how to write a review of someone else’s story—It doesn’t feel right.
 
I don’t typically read memoirs, and much less do I read non-fiction. But I can say that this was a beautifully written book that pulled me in so deeply. This is one of the very few (as in, one of two) books that have moved me to tears, and I definitely think it’s a book I would recommend to people—especially if you’re a big fan of memoirs (I can’t particularly say I am, but this was a very good one).


I think part of why this book hit me so hard, personally, is because of my mother. I love her; She is one of if not number one best friend, and I can’t imagine a world without her. I can’t really articulate the whirlwind of emotion I went through during the chapters detailing her mother’s illness—I was a wreck.
