It's Always Something
by Gilda Radner
emotional
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
I think this is a perfect book. I didn’t know Gilda as a performer, and I didn’t need to to quickly fall in love with her charm and spunk. She’s a beautiful writer and human being with a forever-cemented hug in the form of a book for anyone who’s ever been impacted by cancer.
It started as a quick read for me, and then I slowed down near the end. Not because anything was bad, but because I knew how the story ended, and I wasn’t ready for that. I couldn’t read the final chapters while feeling rushed, or in a waiting room, or too tired right before bed. Her words, and her final words, commanded such full attention and honorary silence up through the final page.
I loved this book. I love Gilda Radner’s style and message. I gave it a hug right back when I was done, and it’ll be on my shelf for years to come, and for anyone else who’d like to read it.
