Loved by our collective!

I will probably never shut up about this book. Family secrets, a queer newly sober main character who becomes obsessed with what it means to have a meaningful death, a dying artist who spends her last days in a museum willing to talk with whoever sits down with her about death. Perspectives from every single character interspersed with hilarious, poignant dream sequences and the draft manuscript of a poetry collection, I didn’t want it to end. This was clearly written by a poet and I sobbed while reading the last hundred or so pages.
