A beautiful memoir open raw painful the heartbreak of losing her mom to breast cancer at such a young age .She shares other difficult issues in her life her story kept me turning the pages .#netgalley #simonelement.

What a powerful memoir.
I could feel the loneliness, the pain, the struggle of the authors when she was losing her mom to breast cancer.
The anguish of losing her mom, then the self control of opening the little chest.
There was many times I cried.

Then the gut punch of her father. I won't spoil it, but wow. I did not see that coming.

I am proud of the author for overcoming so much and still having the faith to find love, to go on, to still see the good in the world.

I hope that the author keeps writing, she has a unique voice that is needed in the world today.

I love the Modern Love NYT pieces and the show on Amazon so I desired to read a full length book about one of the features that had run in the paper. Kingston's words are effortless and flow beautifully to tell the story of her mom. The relationship they had was interesting to read about as she unpacked more and more details. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
