This is probably my first time finishing CoHo's book dry-eyed. For the first time, I did not feel much of the characters' pain, and I am craving for a heart-wrenching book so I might have picked it up on the wrong time.

At the same time, it was an eye-opener about life&death which I really liked for it is true that we don't want to talk about death and in our futile attempts to delay it, we end up getting caught off guard. And what about those who we've left behind? How do they get going again?

I also liked the idea of the Slam because I love poetry, but still I could not connect to the poems that were featured in the book.
