Mem is a short and easy read. It is also quite emotional. To make it even more emotional I once again switched back and forth between the book and the audiobook. And guys, the woman that read the book was AMAZING. She embodied the main character and added a level of emotion I didn’t know was possible in an audiobook. I finally finished it last night. This is a beautiful book. I don’t know how to describe it beyond that.
Typically I reserve 5 stars for books I would read again. I don’t think I could read this book again but not because it is bad. I have the same feeling about the TV show Fleabag. It’s amazing and thought provoking but also emotionally draining at times. If you have a tendency (like me) to over-connect with characters I would probably go slow with this one.

An interesting, quiet book full of questions and not a lot of answers about the meaning of life and living and what makes a person.

This was a really delightful story that focused on the main character. Some things were left unsaid or under-explained, but it worked really well. Lovely prose and a story that carries you right along.
