I didn’t know anything about this book going into it. It’s a novel about grief and friendship and how the way we love others is both wonderful and heartbreaking. Ash is walking her lifelong best friend through hospice care, and while the story is sad it’s also beautiful. I listened on audio and thought the narration was great.

This is probably a helpful book to read if you know someone starting out in hospice care, especially if due to cancer, and you want to know what to expect as a caregiver. It tracked realistically based on my experience with my mom. I would’ve given it a higher rating if the relationship development between the two girlfriends had been stronger.
