The Collected Regrets of Clover


 

“The Collected Regrets of Clover” by Mikki Brammer
Published by St. Martin’s Press
 
“The secret to a beautiful death is living a beautiful life.”
 
Clover is a Death Doula in New York City, collecting people’s final words within her notebooks titled “Advice”, “Confessions”, and “Regrets”.  While helping others prepare to die and hearing of their regrets in life, she actually learns a little more about herself, challenging herself to live a fuller life.  It’s similar to a coming-of-age story but not quite.  What I enjoyed most is the way the author took something scary and sad and turned it into something peaceful and beautiful.  This book isn’t for everyone – if you are struggling with the loss of a loved one, this might not be the right time to read this.  But if you won’t be triggered by that, I would recommend it.
 
Finished 12/31/25 – 4/5 stars
