Bittersweet

 Book 79 of my 2024 Reading Challenge
read from October 3 - 15

Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Makes Us Whole
by Susan Cain

My Opinion
3 stars

This is a book I feel like I should have liked more than I actually did.  I knew a nonfiction book would be informative but I wanted more of the emotional side.

When I think about bittersweet, I think of this scene from Dr. Who: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubTJI_UphPk
and I particularly resonate with the sentiment of using your pain to make beauty for others.

My melancholy song is Beethoven's "5 Secrets", especially the version by The Piano Guys.
