Hi Will. I have just recently read your book, and wish I had discovered it earlier. My daughter, who, like me, was an avid reader, was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 and died in 2015, aged 33. If I had read your book it would have helped some of our conversations...I did try to take the route of 'would you like to talk about how you feel?' Your book has a strong, relevant message about dying.

Hi Ellen. Thank you for writing me and for sharing something of your life. I'm so very sorry to hear that your daughter died of cancer so recently, and so very young. It means a lot to me to know that my book resonated with you. If it's not too painful or difficult, I would be very interested to know some of the books your daughter most loved, and some of the ones that have been most meaningful to you. Sending you my warmest best wishes, Will

Loved your book The End of Your Life Book Club!! My review can be found at getbetweenthecovers.weebly.com Thank you for the wonderful book. I have recommended it to a few people and we are reading it for the book club that I started in my small Minnesota community. Do you have any suggestions for a book club read?

After thoroughly enjoying your terrific book, I was inspired to start my own book club with my twin sister (who is struggling with cancer). We are enjoying sharing books with each other, and fear only that our list of books to read together may be longer than our available time. It's so satisfying to not only share books that we love together, but to have another's perspective. Do you share with anyone else now?

Hi Will, I loved your books! However, in the middle of the covid pandemic, I realized that I do not want to read books that are sad. So looking for uplifting fiction, my favorite book this year is The Story of Arthur Truluv by Elizabeth Berg. She also wrote a couple follow ups and I read Night of Miracles. There are so many books to read but currently I can't bother with ones that will depress me. What do you think?
