A review by librarymouse
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

emotional funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

This was a good but sad read. In the last chapters, Kalanithi's hope for his future and the longevity of his survival gave me hope that he had survived long enough to see his daughter grow, at least a little bit. Finishing the book and learning it was published posthumously was heartbreaking. Kalanithi is eloquent and transparent about his struggles with grappling with the loss of a life he treasured right at the cusp of what should have been him thriving.
