All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews

Hardcover, read summer 2014 and August 2018

This book helped me through the worst time of my life during the summer of 2018, and inspired me to start bringing Sad Girls Book Club to life. Books can save lives, bring people together, inspire. And bookish people are kind, compassionate, empathetic, soft-edged people in a very hard-edged world. I want to help bookish folks find solidarity and comfort in each other the way we find it in books. Keep your edges soft! You will change the world that way.
