A review by lattelibrarian
Unbecoming by Jenny Downham

5.0

I am stunned by this novel. This is the novel I've wanted to write for years. It encompasses such personal subject matter to me that this review may be a little biased. Downham discusses intense subject matters such as dementia/alzheimers, coming out, parent/child roles being switched, what truth really is, and how to handle all of these in such a poignant way. There were multiple times that I cried during this book, because her words rang true to my experiences. This book may have just usurped another's place as my favorite book, and if others wanted to better understand me, I would recommend this book to them.
