THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE BOOK
This isn't a book that necessarily proffers solutions to the problem of loneliness. But it does its job well by looking at how it arises. The author concludes that loneliness itself is an unavoidable phenomenon. As we age, we naturally lose the people closest to us and that loss does leave a hole, whether we admit it or not.

DISLIKES
None.
