What Does it Feel Like?

Not rated. Novella-length (but feels shorter), barely fictional account of “Eve Monroe,” a wildly successful author of the Hey Big Spender novels, and her experiences as a Stage 4 glioblastoma patient. I'm not a huge [b:Confessions of a Shopaholic 9416 Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, #1) Sophie Kinsella https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546503932l/9416.SX50.jpg 3237433] fan, but you would have to be made of stone to not be moved by Kinsella's need to process the unthinkable by writing about it, complete with perfect husband, adorable children and HFN ending. The survival rates for her type of brain cancer are not good but I hope Kinsella beats the odds.

I wasn't sure what to make of the synopsis and the fact it was a novella but dang... This was some serious writing and pack one heck of a punch.

Eve is a wife, mother and best selling author when the unthinkable happens.. She has a brain tumor and after treatment, her memory isn't working so well at all.

Trying to navigate her life with her family and christmas while relearning things she had previously known... MY HEART ACHED and Eve kept her sense of humor and it just made me tear up.

This isn't a complete work of fiction. Eve is loosely based on Sophie Kinsella and what happened to her. I had no idea but as someone who has read evry books shes ever written, you can tell this book had more depth because its so relatable to herself.

I devoured it in one sitting.

I am glad i got the chance to read it.
