The prose and narrative of the author are stellar. Even though I have never experienced what she has (and hopefully I never do) she paints such a good picture that it resonates with the reader so well. On more than one occasion it made my chest physically hurt from the pain of what I was reading/listening.
On the downside, it feels slow at times where it feels unnecessary to me.

nicolet's review against another edition

I will say some parts of the book were difficult to read. I am someone who has lost a family member to a terminal illness and have witnessed the painful decline in health that happens in those situations. I also had someone I love suffer through stage IV cancer, similar to Michelle’s mother, and even though thankfully my family member is in remission, the images that Michelle describes going through with her mother are real, and raw, and can bring up some unwanted memories for those who have witnessed similar things before. So I would be aware of that before reading.
