## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ Lesbian grief overload
*by G***S on February 13, 2015*

Closeted Pen (Penelope) O'Grady takes the reader for a heartbreaking ride through Kubler-Ross' five stages of grief, via flashbacks, following the sudden death of her beloved Cara Wall, in a taxicab accident. Pen is a captivating character who lives a simple life and was deeply in love with her partner; she is stricken. Halfway in, Pen references the book title: the color of her Cara's red hair, the recall of her raincoat hood on a bittersweet busride, the "widowhood" to which she now is subject, the "sisterhood"... She tells us: "There wasn't a lesbianhood that I knew of, only an ism, sounding like a digestive disease." Tender, touching love story, beautifully written and moving, but ultimately, a drain. Further, for those sensitive, there is much explicit homosexuality in "Hood". Introduced to Emma Donoghue's writing with "Room", she made the lead character profoundly sympathetic and frankly for that reason, I persevered to finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Life-Changing Book
*by H***. on October 19, 2016*

This is likely one of the best books I've ever read. I didn't know what to expect from it. It didn't go where I thought it would go (I tend to be rather jaded and wary of books like this) and it was gloriously unpredictable.This book is magical in the way that it draws you in. The surreal quality to Pen's life as she faces her responsibilities after her girlfriend's untimely death is felt by the reader as well. There is one part (no spoilers, don't worry) where she talks about reading the titles of the hundreds of books on the bookcases just to pass the time. Anything for a distraction. She talks about dusting. Trivial, mundane tasks. But it doesn't feel mundane to the reader.This is in my top 3 favorite books, and I am so happy I read it.My life is better, and I am a better person, for having read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moving, but not too depressing story about death of a partner
*by J***R on May 10, 2016*

Great book, different take on a love story and dealing with a partner's death. The premise seems depressing, but it was more thoughtful and contained some humor and levity. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I found myself thinking about it on numerous occasions, even after I finished it.
