utterly speechless. It's quite literally 4am in the morning but I had to get this review out.
You know that feeling when you just finish the final season of a series. You sit still and quietly, your heart beating slightly faster than usual, as you stare out into nowhere wondering what comes next. I got that same feeling finishing this book. Utterly speechless. It's quite literally 4am in the morning but I had to get this review out.
This might just be one of my favorite reads of 2025 and it's not even out yet. For fans of slice of life books, one step away from a stream of consciousness, this story is for you.
We follow the main character after she finds out that not only is her husband unapologetically having an affair but that she also has breast cancer just like her mother did. It seems like God is just handing out one punishment after another, but in some ways her cancer also comes at the perfect time, helping her cope with the news of her husband.
I honestly don't even know how to explain this book without giving spoilers. All I have to say is that this is a 2025 must read, especially if you're going through a time of grief or general disconnect with your life.
