Sad and good.
This is my first Liane Moriarty book although I watched and enjoyed Big little lies. Not at all what I expected. Beautiful and intelligent writing with wonderful well drawn characters. It flows seamlessly in snappy short chapters as the story unfolds. Some great asides from Cherry. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.
I hesitated to read this at first, because I‘m not into romance. I like it dark. But I decided to give this a go, and I‘m glad I did. Nora works in the death industry but can‘t accept death in any other capacity. What happens when you fall in love with the ultimate death doula? A cute book with bits of grim humor, but also hard truths. Excellent for a death cafe discussion!
This small book is a profound memoir about grief, how we allow ourselves to feel…and how we don‘t.
Written gently but deeply. Recommended.

This was a beautifully illustrated graphic novel that used Chinese folklore to explore themes of grief and belonging.
It‘s fun to have breakfast at dinner 🍳🥓
