Wellness by Nathan Hill
4.0

There's so much to love about this book. I don't read LitFic as often as I used to but I always look for that base element of in depth discussions on themes as a writing approach - this did not disappoint.

The themes about modern marriage especially, hits hard. For someone approaching my middle age years in a long time relationship, the expectations indeed are different from my younger years. Of course, there are regrest but there's also fulfillment with what I have now. This book discussea the in betweens and the what if's respectfully and non-biased at all.

The family concept was also explored in detail and the conversations are just so relatable. The characters are someone whom I can also see myself talking to in real life and receiving realistic answers.
