I literally HATED this book. You ever read a book so bad, that it was literally changing your mood for the worse because everything about it just annoyed you.. yea.. it was this book for me. Should've easily made it to my DNF list.

I absolutely hated the author's style of writing. It was just like a bunch of random ass thoughts put together with a hot ass mess of a main character. Ash is extremely annoying. The entire time reading this novel, I just kept thinking, "she needs therapy".. or she just needs to grow tf up. The dark humor throughout the novel got old and annoying fast.

Also.. umm.. if my significant other is dying.. there is no way in hell that I would just send them off to another state to die while I stay behind when my spouse could pass at any moment.

Lois I will finish it because it's a short book, but I'm already thinking about my next book!


Violet Yes!! I am so glad to read someone else was put off by the fact that Edi’s husband just…ships her off? I understand they were trying to protect their son but it was so wildly unrealistic, it really put me off the book.


Julia Jensen Completely agree! The writing style reminds me of an Instagram post. Just random thoughts. Some of it is nice imagery I guess but so disjointed and cumbersome. Very odd. I’ve cried a lot but only because my biggest fear is my friend dying. But all I can think the entire time is if I found out that when I was 7 I could have had weeks, months, maybe more with my mum if it weren’t for the adults in my life making the decision for me not to see her in hospice, I would need a LOT of therapy.


Mooney Yesss like Dash knows his mum is dying, but he can't see her? How abnormal is that. What kind of person would package off their spouse to a distant hospice because its too difficult for him????
