What Comes Next and How to Like It: A Memoir

What Comes Next and How to Like It is a heartwarming memoir that explores the complexities of friendship, family, creativity, tragedy, and the richness of life.

Abigail Thomas's writing is superbly observed, lush with sentences you will read over and over again.

This book is a beautifully felt, deeply moving memoir, the best work yet by a woman who has already done some of the best work in the field.

It is about the complicated friendship between Thomas and a man she met thirty-five years ago—a rich bond that has lasted through marriages, child-raising, and the vicissitudes and tragedies of life.

The book explores how to accept, appreciate, enjoy, find solace and pleasure, and sustain ourselves through our most trusted, valuable companions.

It is a must-read for anyone who has ever lost someone they love or faced difficult times in their lives.
