Ephron reads this audiobook, which I so appreciate because hearing the tenderness in her voice made the story more heartfelt. A memoir about the downs and ups and downs and yet more ups in an aging life.

Audio, DNF 40%. I'd have gotten further if I hadn't just read another memoir about leukemia, "Between Two Kingdoms."

Beginning was interesting, but then turns into a list of medical procedures and how great her friends are.

I could not put this book down. Not only is it a beautiful memoir about cancer survival and the healing power of love, as someone going through the exact same diagnosis and treatment plan, but this book was also a beacon of hope for me. Delia calls these "confluences" in her book. I know that it's not a coincidence that the author of my favorite movie "You've Got Mail" publishes this book one month after my diagnosis and in the midst of my treatment.
