Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong
4.0
reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

While this type of litfic isn’t my usual favorite, I have endless admiration for authors who can create such tender emotions from what might be viewed as a simple and somewhat mundane plotline. 

Khong is wonderful at stringing together these little moments with such a sharp eye and reflective nature. It all feels very nostalgic and heartfelt. It wasn’t until the last half where the passages started to hit hard for me, so I’m glad I stuck with it!
