What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella
hopeful
reflective
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
It wasn’t until I got to the author’s note that I realized this book was mostly autobiographical.
The main character Eve has 5 kids, is a successful writer, and finds out she has a stage 4 glioblastoma. This book is her journey through treatment, rehab, forgetfulness, and the awful fact of cancer.
It was only 144 pages long and I finished it in an afternoon. While working. It felt…light somehow, like she didn’t get to the depths I imagined. She uses humor to defect, often avoiding hard topics by making jokes. It was just fine.
