This book is so beautiful. I laughed, I cried, and I laughed some more. I read it all in one day because it was just so engaging. (And I had only picked it up because I just checked it out from the library and was going to page through it quickly, but I ended up reading the whole thing.) I completely lost track of time and didn't want to put it down!

It's a tough topic, and I think this was the perfect format for it. I really appreciate it her authenticity and vulnerability, especially with her relationship with her mom. I've watched my parents go through this process with their parents, and I just thought her portrayal of it was so beautiful, funny, and honest.
