I'm beginning to wonder if memoirs are just not my jam... I have been trying to get into more audiobooks, and I think memoirs are well suited for listening, especially when read by the author. There were a few parts where I chuckled, and certainly felt a gut punch of sadness for the losses Levy faced. However, calling it a tale of overcoming loss seems misguided. I'd say 75% of the book is her life story: about her upbringing, career and love life - certainly interesting material. The self realization and 'overcoming' after she loses her baby and, eventually, her spouse seems hurried at the end. Though there were a handful of searingly accurate and beautiful bits of writing, overall I felt it detached and clinical.
