i checked this audiobook out from the library solely because it was written by delia ephron, and i am so glad i did. this book had me crying, laughing, and i especially loved hearing about her love for peter. also always love a shoutout to oregon in a book :) the only reason i took .5 stars off is because i really found myself wishing she wrote in more of a “show don’t tell” sort of way, but i also feel like that opinion changed as i read so i may bump it up to 5 stars later haha
Having listened to a lively interview with the author, I wasn't sure I needed to read the book, but I'm so glad I did. She's an engaging writer, and her story, part fairy tale, part nightmare, is compelling. And there's a happy ending, i.e., she survived to write this book!

This is a tearjerker! I haven’t read a memoir that goes into so much detail about cancer treatment. It was eye opening to hear from a survivor’s perspective how terrifying the treatment is. She clearly has such a strong support system so it was touching to read about all her friends. Very hopeful and inspiring.

Her story is intensely sad and also incredible. I love hearing her talk about her friendships and NYC.
This is a memoir about grief, illness, and finding love again late in life. A large chunk of it is a medical memoir, and much of that is grueling and difficult. What a horrible monster leukemia is. All that she went through is horrible, but she came out the other side, and there is a lot of hopefulness here too. It's life, good and bad.
This was good on audio, as memoirs often are for me.
