It’s so fucking wild to me that Quintana died immediately before the book was published. Right after the events described.

The book was good and fine but it’s wild to read about a medical crisis from a rich person’s perspective. She could live in a hotel in LA to be with her daughter in the UCLA ICU while having a permanent residence in New York. Worry over money was not mentioned once. Like damn. It was also a bit pretentious at times (like one paragraph that went something like “Quintana was in the ICU / it reminded me of a trip to Thailand I took once” like bro what the fuck do you mean). The audiobook also has piano music in the background at the end of certain chapters and I fucking hated that fancy-Christmas-dinner ass music. I found the repetition moving, but otherwise found the book somewhat unremarkable. I was so annoyed by how rich they were and how many times expensive vacations come up.
