[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all want impossible things by Catherine Newman. It was heartbreaking and funny and I sobbed through it. But I think about that book often. [/quote] Reading this now. Have a friend in hospice. It’s cathartic. Just starting. I love Newmans writing style. She brings out tears and big belly laughs and it never feels cheap. That’s not easy. [/quote] I read it earlier this year. I loved the hospice/friendship part, which is centered. But I thought the main character's sex life was cringy and distracting. (I appreciated Newman's attempt to create a bit of contrast and balance with the core focus of the book - just thought her execution was off. Felt super contrived - like it belonged in a different book entirely.)[/quote]
