review 1: "The advice I took most to heart, however, was from a friend of mine, a poet, who spoke of the futility of advice. 'I've always handled similar emergencies very badly by working and drinking myself into states of stupor and desolation,' he wrote. 'If I say that I think it's probably best to get out and about then I know I haven't a leg to stand on. I'll excuse myself from my own worthless advice by saying Everyone's Different. I'm thinkg of you, and hoping you're all right.' I wasn't all right, but it helped to know that he was thinking of me and that he understood the limitations of words and advice."
review 2: I don't mean to be insensitive but this is not a good book. It was almost as if she couldn't care to make us care for her. It was touching at time... mores, there was clearly stuff to be learnt from her experiences but she went on and on writing about the same stuff again and again. And the reason why I picked this book in the first place also might be the reason why I didn't like it. I started reading it so as to know about her understanding of grief in a way she talks about depression but she allotted way too little pages to that question. It was one of those books which made me check the page number quite often (not in a good way either). And I kept expecting her to knock me down until the last page but it never happened. Hence, the bad rating. I may return to this in the future and give it a another try but right now I feel disappointed. less
