What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

  • 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.
