The End of Your Life Book Club
by Will Schwalbe
While I liked this book, it also bugged me for a number of reasons. All of which are to do with me, and are nothing to do with the book itself:
1) I've only read one of the books mentioned. In fact, I haven't even heard of most of them.
2) Will's mum is almost unbelievably good. She sounds an amazing woman, working tirelessly to help others, campaigning for refugees, always having time for people. And she doesn't let a small matter like dying from pancreatic cancer stop her. Sometimes it felt like the sole purpose of the book was to make me feel inadequate and selfish.
3) I'm jealous. I have never had a relationship like that with anyone in my family. Will Schwalbe is a very lucky man. Which I'm sure he realises.
