rieviolet's review against another edition
3.5
The parts with the author's own reflections and commentary were by far my favourites. The final part of the book with its brief reflective vignettes really struck a chord with me.
To me, sadness is the path of least resistance, the most familiar and close-at-hand emotion I have. A habit that has encrusted itself into my everyday.
Things will get better with time. Or no, everything is dynamic, which means life will have jump-for-joy moments as well as bad ones, going back and forth like the tide.
