The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer
4.0
“Don’t let the best parts of life pass you by because you’re too scared of the unknown.”
I was so intrigued by the idea of a book about a death, Doula. As an RN, one of my favorite parts of nursing is end of life care. Death can be as beautiful as birth, it’s such a spiritual experience.
Initially, I thought this book was going to be predictable, but it ended up surprising me.
It’s about a woman named Clover who struggles to allow people into her life out of a fear of losing them. She lost her parents as a young child and it affected her greatly.
The Collected Regrets of Clover is a lesson on living life in the moment and taking chances.
“Don't let the best parts of life pass you by because you're too scared of the unknown. Maybe we just need to appreciate that many aspects of life— and the people we love—will always be a mystery. Because without mystery, there is no magic. Be cautiously reckless.”
This would have been a five star review, but having just come off of The Covenant of Water, my standards are ridiculously high. It is an excellent book.
Audible read.
