I got this ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

In the Garden Behind the Moon: A Memoir of Loss, Myth, and Magic is about Alexandra A. Chan, but mostly her family and loss. She lost both of her parents in a short amount of time. This is a dedication and storytelling of her parents' life, but also Chan's life after her loss. In the Garden Behind the Moon searches for meaning, and finding love and joy again in Chan's everyday life.

I rated it 4/5 stars. It's hard to rate a memoir, especially as I haven't read a lot of them, but I truly enjoyed this book. I'm looking past the fact that memoirs aren't for me, as I feel that it isn't fair to lower the rating because of the genre.
The start was slow, but after the second 'book' I found interest in what I read. The pictures and undertones of magic truly pulled this book together, and made it enjoyable and fairly easy to read.
I loved the way the story was told, from Chan's parents' met to the day they died. The journey after the loss was sad, but made me hopeful. One might find healing in the stories of loved ones, and looking at the past is not always a bad thing.
This wasn't particularly funny or entertaining to read, as it was sad, but it was a hopeful read. It was a great way to honor Chan's parents', and a lovely read.
