Astonishingly beautiful, life-affirming, and fun book, with a protagonist more charming than she realizes. Once you get past the first few short chapters of her countdown to suicide, including discovering her cat died.

I got stuck on those for 2 months, returning the book to the library, then borrowing it again, twice. Maybe rang to close to home. But this week I made myself power through them, and after that I couldn't put the book down before finishing it. Other than to pet my cats, of course.

Those first chapters are well-written and immediately engaging. Just be aware of the suicide, dead cat, and depression issues as potential triggers and/or blockers.
