They all sound really good, but nothing appeals more to me than this particular one! I love the fact that it focuses on a family dynamic, but also has romance in it ;)Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299510589029459245.post-17206899109786184652013-06-09T05:32:00.379+02:002013-06-09T05:32:00.379+02:00I think I ended up being disappointed that this bo...I think I ended up being disappointed that this book wasn't as light as expected based on the summary-I ended up hating it!

But thanks to your review, I know I have to. My grandmother suffers from severe dementia and I know the pains it has taken on our family (my grandpa used to look after her himself until he passed away last year). It's a horrible disease, and I'm glad there are stories like this and Still Alice (which I haven't read) to bring awareness to Alzheimer's.

I agree, I think one of the most terrifying diseases out there is dementia. Books that tackle it can be tough reads, but also rewarding if they're well-written. Have you read Still Alice by Lisa Genova? It really packs an emotional punch. <br /><br />danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.com
