3.5
tbh there's only two reasons why i decided to pick this book up:
- firstly, a friend of mine has recommended me this author a bunch of times and i told her i'd read some of his books one day
- secondly, since this novella is super short and im in a huge reading slump, i just thought it could be helpful
as for the story, it was both sweet and sad. maybe it was not super devastating or maybe i just avoided to cry because i was in front of my family during about 90% of my reading time. however, i did tear up and drop a couple tears, not gonna lie!
the main topics were nice, i liked how the author handled the theme of memory loss and giving your last goodbyes to people who are still alive. i guess at first the change of setting/pov can be a bit confusing and but after a couple switches you can understand how is it going.

"Once your goodbye is perfect, you have to leave me and not look back. Live your life. It's an awful thing to miss someone who's still here."
A short, heartbreaking, beautifully-written novella. It brought up a lot of feelings regarding my own grandfather with dementia.
