A review by wiinnnie
Life and Other Near-Death Experiences by Camille Pagán
2.0
Not a huge fan of the dialogue that was exchanged between the characters. People don’t talk like that in real life, and it was annoying to read unrealistic dialogue over and over again, especially between Libby and Paul.
There were moments of humor but other than that, I thought the book was trying too hard at some points to be witty and funny. Characters, including the main character herself, were underdeveloped and flat. Overall, I thought the book was underwhelming. It did not strike me as deeply as I would have imagined, especially for a book centered around the journey of living life after knowing you have cancer.
