A review by marlo_c
My Diary from the Edge of the World by Jodi Lynn Anderson

3.0

I’m struggling with my thoughts on this book. It was imaginative. It had a family with dynamics that felt authentic. The idea of going to such extremes to try to save a child from death also rang true. Who as a parent wouldn’t feel that way and do what they could, depending on the circumstances? And yet.... there are aspects of this that don’t work and don’t make sense to me and don’t help children deal with loss. I won’t flesh it out and spoil it, but the ending was disappointing to me.
