Books With Friends: Not Yet: A Memoir of Living and Almost Dying
My pal Chelsea took some time out of her hectic schedule for the latest edition of Books With Friends!

One of the books I got was Not Yet: A Memoir of Living and Almost Dying, by Wayson Choy. Chelsea actually put it in my pile for me, and told me I had to read it. I haven’t yet, but it is high on my TBR pile! In the meantime, I wanted to chat with Chelsea about why she adores this memoir so much.
