The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer

4.0

Overall, I enjoyed this story. I thought the author brought light to the job of a death doula. It is such an interesting and important job that I knew nothing about. I appreciated learning about it. I also thought the author did a great job at handling the topic of grief. I appreciated how the author focused on how grief is different for everyone and how society needs to stop trying to “erase it”.

I am conflicted as there were parts of it I absolutely loved and other parts that were harder to get through. The last third of the book was what I was wanting. I wish we were able to spend more time on the trip and with the actual romantic interest. The ending felt rushed but it was so enjoyable.

I was also super conflicted about Clover as a character. At times, I found her to be a bit creepy and immature. Other times, I adored her and was cheering for her.

I would recommend this book but go into it with caution. Maybe read some reviews first. The book is different from what I expected.
