I loved this book with every fiber of my being. I just couldn't put this down! The writing, the story itself, the characters, the connection to real life issues, the portrayal of grief, and of course, Six-Thirty 🩷

This is by far my newest favorite book of all time, and I hope to read many more novels by Bonnie in the future. The research to write this beautifully powerful story deserves five stars in and of itself. I'm looking forward to watching the t.v. series, but nothing will compare to the poetic writing of Bonnie Garmus. 

Do yourself a favor and put this at the TOP of your TBR list!

This was a wild ride for me. I finished the book soo quickly and couldn't get myself to put it down. Its such an emotional story: funny, sad and anger-inducing at the same time. You really find yourself rooting for the main character and her loved ones.

the flipping between narrators was a little annoying to me as I sometimes couldn’t figure out who it was. overall enjoyed the book and loved the rowing representation even if it was a bit corny
