This book unfortunately captures the fate of too many Americans struggling to access healthcare. The depiction of Chung’s grief is raw and her perspective as a transracial adoptee adds to the complexities and nuances of losing a parent. Beautifully done

Wow... real weeping in the car while listening to the audiobook vibe with this one! I was worried this would be less impactful since I hadn't read Nicole's first book, but that wasn't the case at all. This is such a meaningful and emotional read, and I came away absolutely convinced I had to read her first book. Highly recommend!

This wrecked me. And it didn’t put me back together. It hurt and it’s beautiful and I loved it.
