The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe
4.0
This was a very different kind of read. It was sad, for sure, but not terribly so where I ugly-cried the whole time.
Will's mother is dying. They know this, there are certain things they don't discuss because they're not ready or it's awkward. They are always reading and being able to read and share and discuss characters and what they're going through and their choices and all the "what ifs" helps them navigate this difficult time. Its also an opportunity for Will to learn some things about his mother. Asking questions that may be prompted from something they read, but he sees his mother in a certain way. He throws in memories of his own and what he learns of her life as Mary Ann and how she interacts with the world and people. I think this was a very beautiful way to honor his mother and the relationship they have.
