Dr Green’s book is an easy read in terms of medical literacy—you do not need to be a doctor to understand and follow—but could definitely be a difficult one for anyone who has recently lost a loved one or has difficulty with the topic of death. It does not shy away from the emotional difficulties surrounding assisted dying, but is not particularly graphic in terms of the descriptions of death. This book will force you to challenge your own opinions on assisted death, but not aggressively (definitely not at first).
The book also has statistics and changes to the laws since the events in the book took place, as well as recommendations for wider reading.

incredibly well put together account of assisted dying mostly in canada, but also covers laws in US europe and australia. poignant story telling and honest reflection on author's own life and experience with MADE from a provider's prospective. woah abuse narrative she may have been involved in. and damn one made me tear up mom and daughter at the end

I read this book only because it was nominated for the Forest of Reading 2023 Evergreen award. I would never have picked it up otherwise, but I am sure glad I did. It was very interesting and sure pulled at my heartstrings.
