The Collected Regrets of Clover
by Mikki Brammer
I don’t believe this book was bad, but it could have been better. The synopsis effectively conveys the main idea, but I felt it was a bit surface level . While there were some conversations, I expected deeper discussions on life and death. However, the conversations were also quite surface level. Personally, I was looking for more depth. If the book had been shorter,like a novella, it might have had the same effect.The topic of death and a death doula is intriguing, which is why I picked up the book. You do get that satisfaction, but I wish we could have delved deeper into the subject matter by exploring more people that she worked with instead of focusing solely on one woman for most of the book. I genuinely appreciate the aspect of the journals, particularly the last words and the life lessons they offer. I wish we had more of that kind of vibe through out the book. Also the romance felt a bit forced and unrealistic, like a convenient plot device. However, I’ll admit that I was aweing by the end.
This book is not fast-paced at all; it’s definitely a meandering type of story. I don’t think it was a complete waste of time, but I wish it had been a bit faster-paced, more exciting, and more thought provoking.
