What We Lose by Zinzi Clemmons
4.0
there’s a lot going on in this book, and the author is a great writer and storyteller; the losses are varied and intermingled but universally painful. the part that resonates with me most is of losing your mother.
one of the best / most relatable stories i’ve ever read of the experience of losing your mom as a young adult, the emptiness, the dreams, losing pieces of yourself as you forget what she smells like. amazing to see how different we are, in our experiences of gender and race and love and sexuality and mothering and how grief feels the same across all of it
