Life and Other Near-Death Experiences

While on the surface this book seems like an easy fluff read, it really is an in-depth look into childhood grief/trauma and how that can shape the people we become. The main character, Libby, is at times funny, endearing, strong, and woefully sad. With the onslaught of bad news, she begins to redefine her life and align the person she thinks she is with the person she wants to be. This novel is both heartbreaking and uplifting!
