In some respects I didn’t like the way the author spoke or thought about things and the way she stayed with someone who she didn’t like in the first place just seemed stupid. However by the end of the book I was entranced and I did not want it to end. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

By the time she was 31, Tania had had cancer twice.
But it’s not just Tania’s young age as a cancer survivor that makes her book so unique. It’s also that she’s a lesbian and at 21, as she was faced with losing her breast, Tania was just figuring out her sexuality and her identity.
From Tania Katan’s memoir I learned that humor can bind wounds for both writer and reader. Also, it can bind people with few commonalities together in that moment of reading. In this memoir, humor is a way of looking slant at tragedy. By this off-center viewpoint, the poignancy is enhanced, and the triumphant penultimate scene of the book made me sob. ( )
