Jenny Lawson ，

An authentic and profound book on the complexities of grief， desire and being human。

Roxane ，

I thought about this book for quite a long time after I finished it， trying to decide how I felt about it。 This is definitely going to be a polarizing memoir。 What works especially well is the moving account of a woman who becomes a widow to a man she was planning to leave before he was diagnosed with terminal cancer。 It's one of those impossible circumstances we so rarely hear about because it is messy and uncomfortable。 It is a circumstance that is rarely shared and especially with such honest I thought about this book for quite a long time after I finished it， trying to decide how I felt about it。 This is definitely going to be a polarizing memoir。 What works especially well is the moving account of a woman who becomes a widow to a man she was planning to leave before he was diagnosed with terminal cancer。 It's one of those impossible circumstances we so rarely hear about because it is messy and uncomfortable。 It is a circumstance that is rarely shared and especially with such honesty。 Nothing is held back and there is a generosity to Woolf's deceased husband coupled with an open acknowledgment of her truths， such that these people are seen as themselves rather than the idealized versions you might expect。 And that's also where I paused。 Because at times I wondered if I was witnessing radical honesty or radical rationalizations， not with the dissolution of the marriage， at all， but with some of the tone of the narratives about infidelity and new relationships， etc。 No judgments！ But I'll be curious to hear what other people think of certain aspects of the memoir。 But what matters most is that it is beautifully written， complex， provocative， painful， genuine， and then the ending kind of falls apart like the author did not quite know where to take the narrative once she reached a certain point。 It's okay！ It's still an unforgettable memoir， and very unique。 （In a good way。） 。。。more
