dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.5

This book is 60% cancer 40% road trip. Which is fine i just wish it wasnt marketed as ‘a girl figured out how to Live Again after surviving cancer’ bc while thats the Point of the book and the most enjoyable part its really the minority of the page length. And check trigger/content warnings.

This book was beautifully honest and gorgeously written. I couldn't put it down! It doesn't shy away from the hard parts of illness. I loved it from beginning to end.
