What I Leave Behind – Alison McGhee

April 5, 2019 by Jennifer

How do you get through, when things are too much? Ask me and I’ll tell you to walk. “Just walk,” I’ll say. “Walk. Walk and walk and walk and walk and walk.”


I was super curious when I heard about the structure of this YA book >> 100 chapters, 100 words in each chapter. I liked it and felt like it worked. Hard topics that were perhaps held together a little too breezily for reality – 100 words, 100 pages after all – but reality was present nonetheless. And the grief and the walking are things I know to be true.
