Tell Me More: Stories About the 12 Hardest Things I'm Learning to Say
VolunteerVal avatar reviewed on + 652 more book reviews


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.
