This is a hard review to write because the book and the story are so raw, real and personal. I used to devour Kinsella’s books when I was younger. I haven’t read any of her newer works since 2019’s I Owe You One. I wasn’t aware that Kinsella was ill until this book came out. She deserves a medal for her strength and bravery and the fact that she kept her sense of humour. I love that about the book as well, both Sophie and Eve never lose their positive outlook on life…so if you’re expecting a pity party or a woe-is-me story you won’t find it here. Eve (and Sophie) have a wonderful support network including a loving husband.
I love the structure of the book as well, each chapter is a little antidote on going through a health crisis, it includes: telling family, all of those plastic chairs in waiting rooms and how brutal physical therapy can be. I’m so thankful Kinsella shared her story it really helped me see it from the ill person’s perspective. I really admire her resilience, I applaud you, Sophie Kinsella. This book is very poignant relatable and believable. It was a hard read but a really great one too.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
