Imperfect Endings by Zoe FitzGerald

Zoe FitzGerald does an amazing job of tackling a very difficult situation that she was faced with. After years of suffering, her take-charge mother decides to take control of her own death. What could have very well have been a depressing book, is the exact opposite. Obviously feelings of despair, helplessness and sadness make there way into this novel, but the author does an amazing job of focusing on her mother’s life and the steps that brought her to such a drastic decision. I loved this book. I could identify with Zoe and admired her strength even when she didn’t feel like she had any. The selfless decision to stand by her mother  had to be both an easy one and a debilitatingly difficult one. Definitely a book worth reading. Not so heavy that you will cry the whole way, but definitely substantial in its content.
