Ok, so Litsy app won‘t open and here‘s how the website on my phone wants to post the pic. However this book is positioned, it‘s a winner. A grief memoir that shows how all-encompassing grief will be, especially when you lose someone way too soon. I loved that it was written in vignettes and flew through it because of that. Emotional and searing.
A beautiful and heart-wrenching memoir of loss. Amy Lin‘s young husband of only a couple of years unexpectedly dies a few months into the pandemic. What follows is a period of grief and loss and abandonment that is incredibly powerful to read. This is cry against a society that seems to want people to move on as quickly as possible.
Some aspects really resonated with me while others did not. I don‘t cry easily and really struggle to allow myself to feel emotions. Her depression and utter heartbreak is relatable, but I didn‘t see myself in this.
I listened to this as a audiobook, narrated by the author. The version I had from #BOTM had her reading out the numbers of each chapter and this bothered me because there‘s so many chapters and it took me out of the story a bit.
