I just finished reading "The End of Your Life Book Club" yesterday. I'd say it's a powerful and moving book that presents everything in a simple, subtle way. I really admire Will's mother. She's done so much: humanitarian work, housewife, part-time blogger, fund raiser... An endless list to the amount of things she's done. I'd say Mary Ann's death was, in a way, also better than Romeo and Juliet living.

My grandfather is suffering from lung and bone cancer so I could really relate a lot to the book. I kind of applied that thing he learnt in
The Etiquette of Illness. Now, I always ask him if he wants to talk about how he's feeling rather than how he's feeling. And it does wonders.
But I guess even books cannot prepare you for the grief to come. He and my grandmother raised me up because my parents are busy with work most of the time, so we're really close knitted. And I honestly can't imagine a life without him.
But yeah, the book is really amazing. You can check out the synopsis
here. A book you'd fall in love with almost immediately. By the way, I'm still book hunting for the next book. So, until next month!
