The words don’t exist to properly praise Alison Espach enough, but I’ll give it a go. She has mastered taking the heaviest topics and making them feel light. She treats them with the seriousness they deserve without taking them too seriously. This takes a book that could be depressing, and instead makes it fun.
Her dialogue feels so natural, yet so unique. A character will say the most subtly funny thing (that they may not even mean to be funny), and you’re just left wondering how a brain would even come up with that thought. It keeps you on your toes and makes you want to keep turning the page.
Her writing brings out her personality in a way that leaves me with zero doubt Alison isn’t a wonderful person to be around. This book is highly readable, definitely rereadable, and I expect will be cherished by many readers across the world.
