Dear Life by Meghan Quinn is hands down the most raw, intimate, honest, and vulnerable book that she has written so far. This is one of those reads that cannot be fully reviewed since Dear Life is about life’s journey. The good, the bad, and those moments in our life we want a do-over. Four lives. Four strangers are brought together where they bond over the fact that life is not fair. People they love had to die. Sacrifices had to be made. Letting go is not easy. And the hardest part is starting over. Dear Life is a reminder that we exist on this earth for a reason. We can either roll with the punches or let our guilt, pain, sadness, and loss consume us. So if you are looking a story where four different letters addressed to life are written in such a poignant, heartbreaking, touching and visceral manner then this is the book for you.

P.S.
Dear Meghan Quinn,
Thank you for your raw honesty towards the end of the book. Life is truly a journey and things do happen for a reason. I am so happy that life brought you and your wife a bundle of joy this Holiday Season.
Sincerely,

So I think it’s fitting I end this review with a letter of my own to Life.
Dear Life,
The last half of 2016 has been a very rough year for me personally dealing with my dad’s health. For three months of my life, it was consumed with lots of doctor’s visits, surgeries, and hospital stays. When I thought my dad was on the road to recovery, you had to punch me once again and have them tell me he possibly has leukemia. Right now, I am consumed with mixed emotions. I hate you and then I am thankful. Hate you for the obvious reason. Thankful that the doctors caught his CMML early. So as you can tell, I am so ready for 2016 to be over with. Please be kind to me in 2017. I am tired of being worried and stressed out. I am so definitely tired of crying. So life, I am trusting you with 2017.
