The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion

hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

Okay, clearly there is something wrong with me because this is the second Joan Didion book that I read and it failed to move me like I thought it would. People have genuinely talked about how this book changed their life so I had high expectations. Don't get me wrong, her writing is obviously super strong and she details her terrible year while also reflecting on her past memories in a really powerful way. But it wasn't quite what I was expecting, I guess?
