A review by jandahazy
The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

2.0

I don't know what is wrong with me, but I just couldn't get into this book. I loved "The Middle Place" (another memoir that focuses on a parents' cancer diagnosis) because I felt so connected to the characters and actually wanted to have a beer with Greenie. In this book, however, I never connected with Will or Mary Ann. His writing seemed a bit....pretentious? Boarding school, exotic travels, international missions, high brow books, incessant name dropping .. Not relatable and I understand her support for universal health care but I could have done without the politics! Disappointing for me.
