An incredibly well-written and moving novel on life, death, friendship, family and a woman's experience that is not spoken about enough. I didn't know anything about Nunez so went in blind, and have come away deeply affected by this wonderful book.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Loved this book! have released it back so I hope someone else enjoys it

Thank you so much for releasing this back into my street library. I had not read it beforehand and because of your great review, I wished I had done so. Now I can; I shall add it to my pile of books TBR (to be read).

A powerful story of a woman dying from Cancer, who chooses to end her life on her own terms. The request she makes to her friend to assist her in her wish is both confronting and deeply emotional.
The interaction between the two as they spent the few weeks together was both tragic and even sometimes comedic. They grew extremely close as they each came to terms with the timing of the friend’s momentous decision.
We do not learn names of any of the characters in the book, and I felt this gave the story more impact. I also liked the many literary references which were made throughout the book.
A work of fiction, but it felt like this could be anyone’s story. I will now look for “The Friend”, the writer’s previous book.
