Maddie Mortimer has written an absolute treasure. I feel as if words fail to describe the (cathartic) experience that is reading this: I smiled, I thought, I teared up, I gasped, I thought (some more), I cried. Mortimer so beautifully captures the sheer "aching-ness" of being human—as well as the joy. I already want to read it again.
