I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death by Maggie O'Farrell

adventurous emotional reflective fast-paced

3.5

This was definitely a different type of memoir. It was quite interesting, I mean 17 brushes with death! She has had quite a life so far.  I really went into this book wanting to like it, but in the end it was just an okay read for me and I wouldn’t choose to read it again. I thought it was well written and huge props to the author for all she put out there. It really does make one think about life a bit differently and ponder about our mortality. I didn’t identify with the book too often, but there were a couple parts where I did, which was interesting given that I peg myself being completely different from the author. I imagine this story is relatable in one way or another to just about anyone.
