This book hit a soft spot for me because i am very close with my mother. The book is about how Chick went through a depression after his mom died. He drank and pushed everyone away. He tries to kill himself but fails. He ends up getting one more day with his mom. 

The book goes back and forth between the past and present. We get to see Chick as a kid. He pushed back his mom and often sided with his abusive father. He talks about times his mom stood up for him and times that he did not stand up for his mom. We get to see all the main events up to the point his mom died. 

It is a more slower paced story. It goes back and forth between past and present. We get to see flashbacks from when he was younger and what events took place before his mom died. 

Mitch in this book is really good at show don’t tell. Even some chapters are simple because Chick is a child. He doesn’t even understand what is going on at that time but you can feel the pain from the scene.

This is one of my most highlighted books. Every book by Albom makes me reflect about my life and how I want to live it/ how I want to treat the people in it.
