A review by emmarepp
The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

1.0

I would not have finished this book if it wasn’t for leading a book club for work. I like the concept of this book a lot—discussing all the books you read with someone before they die. But Will and Mary Anne are so insufferable. So pretentious. So extremely privileged and that comes across so poorly. Like, did the author HEAR what he was saying?! Cancer is so hard to read about, and writing about it must be even more difficult so I do respect that. A lot of details were just SO unnecessary and cringe (why did Will say he hated the sweater?! Just don’t say that, it doesn’t do anything to the plot and makes you look like a fool!). Overall, I can definitely see why some would love this book but it did not hit right for me at all.
