38 reviewsFor lovers of Meg Wolitzer, Maria Semple, & Jenny Offill comes this raucous, poignant celebration of life, love, & friendship at its imperfect & radiant best.
Edith & Ashley have been best friends for over forty-two years. They've shared the mundane & the momentous together: trick or treating & binge drinking; Gilligan's Island reruns & REM concerts; hickeys & heartbreak; surprise Scottish wakes; marriages, infertility, & children. As Ash says, "Edi's memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine."But now the unthinkable has happened. Edi is dying of ovarian cancer & spending her last days at a hospice near Ash, who stumbles into heartbreak surrounded by her daughters, ex(ish) husband, dear friends, a poorly chosen lover (or two), & a rotating cast of beautifully, fleetingly human hospice characters.
As The Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack blasts all day long from the room next door, Edi & Ash reminisce, hold on, & try to let go. Meanwhile, Ash struggles with being an imperfect friend, wife, & parent--with life, in other words, distilled to its heartbreaking, joyful, & comedic essence.
For anyone who’s ever lost a friend or had one. Get ready to laugh through your tears.

“[Newman] brings Ash to life through a voice that is both hilarious & filled with crushing sadness, but the ultimate message is that of hope. A crossover readalike for fans of death memoirs such as those by Paul Kalanithi & Nora McInerny.” — Booklist&nb
