Malagash by Joey Comeau

3.0

I think this novella would be a great gift for those dealing with grief, but it doesn't quite hit as hard in this moment in my life. I love the way it was written, the dark humor absolutely did it for me, I was constantly highlighting lines. It's almost like poetry. But the sentimentalism, the overall message, left me feeling a little empty. I wonder if I ever reread it at a more apt moment of my life if my rating would change. I imagine it would. I definitely will be recommending this to others.
