It. Goes. So. Fast. by Mary Louise Kelly. Sweet. It's a deeply personal memoir in which the journalist documents her son’s final year of high school. What begins as a chronicle of juggling school runs, college applications, and the bittersweet milestones of parenting soon expands into a meditation on time itself, and how fleeting it feels.
Kelly balances her identity as a war-time journalist with her role as a working mother. The book feels intimate, almost therapeutic, as she also weaves in the grief of losing her father.
I like that she narrates the book.
3.8/5
