Goodbye, Vitamin (by Rachel Khong)

A super enjoyable novel. This is the story of Ruth, who has just gone through a breakup and moves back in with her parents to help care for her father, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer's.

It's not showy or flashy. It quietly explores Ruth's relationship with her father, her experience of her family and her breakup, and her general anchorlessness.  The writing style is captivating and subtle, the observations are wry and astute. All I can say is, a solid, excellent novel.

This is another one that I read in a day and could arguably fit the "read in one-sitting" category of Read Harder Challenge. But still holding out for something that I read through, uninterrupted. (Like on an airplane.)
