I had heard this was good so I started reading it and couldn't stop. Zauner has a way with words, capturing adolescence, grief, the honesty of emotions, and challenging parental relationships indescribably well. Further, she ties her story up so neatly with the loss of her mother. It would be easy to stray from the focus but especially with our relationship with our parents, they work their way into many facets of our lives. Anyone that has lost someone, particularly to cancer, will have some sort of hard time with this. In summary, it's a devastating read written with heart and honesty.

 One of the best memoirs I have ever read. Highly recommend. The descriptions of food throughout are thoughtful and provide connection and deeper meaning to the story as a whole. Michelle is a beautiful writer and as I read, her feelings just flowed off the page and straight into me. Just spectacular.
