The Year of Magical Thinking

6/10

I have (very fortunately) never lost someone close to me so it was a little difficult to relate to Didion. I also felt there was way too much of medical jargon and locations specific to Cali and NY, which meant nothing to me.

Nonetheless, I could tell that she's a great writer and I'm looking forward to reading her other work. This just wasn't the best first book to read.
