Another Kim Shute book review!!

She mostly focused on her biological father and her stepmom (who both died in 2023 within 9 days of each other), with several mentions of her biological mother who died 8 years ago. Silverman is at heart a storyteller, so she does a good job of balancing the realities of loss and the humor that exists in life and death within her narrative."
