The Whale at the End of the World by John Ironmonger
Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.

Too slow of a start for my current mindset. It’s beautifully written but we simply didn’t cross paths at the right time

Very relatable in many aspects. Haven’t read a book this humorous that also made me seen as a woman living in this world so much in years. 
As a daughter who had a parent suffering from a similar affliction as her father, I will recommend these last few chapters to anybody who is trying to understand what it was like for me. Couldn’t have put it in better words myself.
