Review from The Correspondent →
The narrator’s performance in this audiobook was five stars. She captured every emotion. the book was clever, funny, insightful, heartbreaking.as a middle-aged woman, I could feel and understand/appreciate her relationships and the conflicts she had with the people in her life that she cared for the most. this was an incredible read, and the icing..
Totally enjoyable. different voices were perfect the story, heartbreaking, funny but a journey we must all take.

I loved how the author used the correspondence to tell the stories of so many characters in this book. So well written. Sad and beautiful, just like life is.
