Cold Tangerines: Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life by Shauna Niequist

3.0

I like memoirs, and I like essays. But this just felt flat. The supposed theme of celebrating the ordinary was scarce in the essays. Death, new babies, job loss, moving, accidents; none of these are “ordinary”.
Many of the essays seemed very introspective and not written for others to read, like a journal. I was waiting for the big So What, but it never really came.
