(free review copy) holy mother of favorite books 😭 I can’t really describe just how much I loved this but maybe the fact that my family was annoyed at me laughing out loud so often but also my pillow was soaked in tears when I read the entire last half in bed helps depict the emotions? How can a book set around death and in a hospice be funny? I don’t freaking KNOW but damn it was. It was human and wry and hilarious and heartbreaking and I loved every single word. Middle age and mothering teens and marriage and friendship and death and messiness. This will be the book I recommend the most this year, hands down.

Karen What a delightful review Kate. You really had a way of bringing out just how important the humor was in this book. I loved that part of its story, too. Thank you.


Katy O. The humor is definitely what made it such a rich story and not unbearably sad!
