I really liked this. It made me reflect on my own relationship with my mom, and how to be okay with where it is. The last essay in particular really hit home for me. I would love to see another volume of this with a few younger authors (more millennial or gen-z) because I sometimes found it hard to relate to the older authors. Overall, great read.
