Between Gods: A Memoir by Alison Pick

4.0

The author has a beautiful writing style and I got to step into her shoes for a while. Her depression had me crying (I know the feeling), and her explanation of it was accurate, heartbreaking, and beautiful. There were many times in the book when I got mad at her (her behavior towards Deglan, her emotional affair, for example) but they were raw honest moments (Plus she ended up pushing through and making big choices.) I loved her voice and her descriptions. Her thoughts and decisions about Judaism were more cultural-focused than I was expecting (I was expecting more talk about God/spirituality). She had many big life events in such a short time - marriage, new friendships, new religion, parental relationship changes, miscarriages, and having a baby - and I enjoyed getting to be there with her through them.
