The writing in this memoir was profound - to write about loss and grief so beautifully without being incredibly heavy is difficult but Sloane Crosley achieved it. I loved the interplay of learning more about Sloan's friendship with her best friend Russell and the robbery that precedes his death. I had to rewind the audiobook so many times to soak in the quotables - two of my faves:
"If you don't change, change will find you in its most unruly form. It will press down on your vulnerability until they squish out the edges. Life needs volunteers or else it will start calling on people at random."
"The needs of the living are more important than the wants of the dead."
This was a quick listen - I strongly suggest the audiobook version!
