Wow, I started off not sure about this book but by the end, I was so captivated by Richard’s story that I couldn’t put the book down.
I knew very little about ALS before picking up this book. Now, I’m heartbroken at the thought of someone having to live with this horrible disease. It seems truly horrific to experience.
Both Richard and Karina were such intriguing characters to read. I can’t imagine caring for an ex-husband in this regard, yet if I knew I was all they had, perhaps I could imagine it.
As a pianist in my own childhood, I enjoyed the piano references and themes in this book as well. It added a unique element to the storytelling.
Lisa Genova told this story so simply, yet it was so truly powerful. I think it will be a book that sticks with me, just as most of her other books have that I have read already.
