The characters, relationships and dialogue felt believable and relatable to me. The focus on micro-moments of joy and heartbreak just pulled me in so much. I loved Newman's writing style and her ability to have me laughing and crying in the same paragraph. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Content warning: this book is set in a hospice and focuses on imminent death. The humour is dark and involves laughing at things we don't normally laugh at. There was at least one joke related to sexual violence that I didn't think was funny.
