An absolutely brilliant read. The true story of how author Nikki Gemmell has dealt with the unexpected suicide of her mother. Nikki started writing this book the day the police attended to advise her of her mother’s death. What a wonderful read, as painful as the experience was for Nikki to explore and share with others. Beautifully written.

An exceptional book that made me think about euthanasia from all sides of the debate.

DNF at 60% because I could not stand the judgemental tone any longer. The author is so incredibly harsh on suicide victims and vilifies her mother so completely. The book read more like ‘here is a list of all the things my mother did to hurt me’ than an actual insightful memoir. I found it upsetting to read because of the author’s close mindedness. I understand that the author is hurting, so perhaps this should’ve been written when the author has had more time to reflect. Instead it reads as an attack.
