Every once in awhile we get lucky and we hear a story that affects us in a long lasting and profound way. This was The Collected Regrets of Clover for me. A uniquely told story about a death doula, it’s a beautiful, unique, and moving book about what it means to live. I loved this book and it’s characters, I loved the musings on grief and death. I found myself highlighting so many passages I think I have at least 20 new favorite quotes. I will be thinking about this book for quite awhile and I highly suggest you pick it up too. I’m going to end this review with a few of the quotes that really struck me:
-“Maybe we have different business with the same souls in each lifetime. And it doesn’t always work out how we want it to in every one of them.”

-“Grief is just love looking for a place to settle”
