Reviews with content warning for Cancer - It's Ok to Laugh: About My Husband's Tumor and Other Horrible Things

I haven’t read a memoir like this in a really long time. I tend to gravitate towards fluffy romances and books that take me to another place altogether. This book, the whole book, deals primarily with Nora’s grief in and around her husband dying. What I think made me like this most was that although it deals with dying and processing death, I wouldn’t say it was a sad book. It was emotional, it made me stop and think, and it definitely made me laugh but it was not sad. This is for sure a book everyone needs to read, most importantly those who have dealt with or are currently dealing with death of a loved one. The chapters are short and it was very easy to read. 4 stars from me! I already added the rest of her books to my TBR.
