Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) -
In Tell Me More, Kelly Corrigan's fourth memoir, she shares stories from her life about the 12 hardest things she's learning to say: It's Like This, Tell Me More, I Don't Know, I Know, No, Yes, I Was Wrong, Good Enough, I Love You, No Words At All, Onward, and This Is It.
Many of her reflections focus on major recent losses in her life - the deaths of her larger-than-life father Greenie and her dear friend Liz. Kelly's husband, daughters, mother Mary, and other friends also featured in the stories.
I really appreciate the author's way of looking at life - she can make you laugh, cry, and swoon in a single paragraph.

The subtitle of Tell Me More by Kelly Corrigan refers to "the 12 hardest things I'm learning to say." That begs the question. What things? The answer is in the chapter titles. As a memoir, this question-based structure implies that the book is more essay-like than a chronological story. The point here is to convey the ideas not necessarily tell the story. Certain moments of the book reach me, but much of it does not touch an emotional cord for me.
