aweekinthelife's review against another edition
4.5
the bulk of the book is reflecting on her relationship with her parents post-college, their illnesses (renal failure ande cancer), and losing them - all while located on the other side of the country and later, unexpectedly due to the pandemic. the reflections on her grief are moving and the memoir underscores the failure of our (US) healthcare system and how her middle class (self-identified label) parents struggled to afford and have access to real healthcare amidst job losses.
