The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion

I am unsure of how to comment on a book based on someone’s very personal emotions.
You can critique it because we’re very individual and you can’t praise it because it’s not groundbreaking.
I think it’s very understandable to want to research the science of life when a loved one dies but I also think it’s a very unique way of going about it. I assume, her being an author has something to do with it.
I think the forgetfulness aspect is extremely relatable. Wanting to tell someone something but being unable to is heartbreaking. I don’t want to say that I can compare myself to the situation but when you loose someone wether it’s due to death or just separation you go to a similar sort of grieving process and they tend to stay with you forever. No matter how much time passes.
Idk, it’s a good book. It requires a very specific audience for it to be truly good but you cannot say the writing was bad.
