Brittany says: "Roz's parents are in their 90s and seem to lack the ability to have an end of life conversation with their daughter or one another. Life with them can be infurating, worrisome, hilarious, exhausting, and downright scary. Everything in this book is relevant to anybody who has been part of a loved one's aging process, and Chast doesn't shy away from complete honesty in this book, even in situations one might look back on with a bit of regret or resentment for feeling a certain way or saying a certain thing."
