⭐️⭐️⭐️ I did this backward. I read Bowler‘s newest book “No Cure for Being Human” first. In it, she references this one, but now having read both in the same month, they‘ve run together. Too much repetition. So, don‘t be like me. Here, Bowler openly speaks of her diagnosis and treatment for late stage cancer. As a religious scholar, wife, and new mother, she tries to reconcile her life. It‘s obviously a tough read, but poignant, and worthwhile.

Singout Vigourously recommended by my housemate! 3y
Cinfhen Sounds too heavy for me at the moment but I‘ll mark it for #FutureRead (edited) 3y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gosh, this was a tough, but ultimately, uplifting read. Bowler is open and honest about her experiences with stage 4 colon cancer. Very reflective, and at times terrifying, yet her dark humor and quick wit reiterate what an effective defense/coping mechanism maintaining a sense of humor can be. Bowler thoughtfully touches on faith, ambitions and limitations, and generally being freaking human.

jessjess Definitely adding this to the list as it hits home for me 3y

Quick, sad, emotional read. About dying and families and trying to do the right thing.

Cinfhen I‘m not in the mood for sad right now, but will stack for #futureread 6y
TrishB It‘s a quick read, but sad! 6y
