2.5. I was expecting something more to this, so I was disappointed. It was intriguing to me since I work with patients with dementia/Altzheimer's and the author did a wonderful job portraying life from their perspective.

This book was really chaotic and I had a hard time following. I enjoyed what I could follow, but other than that I’m not a fan.

Meh. Dragged. Unnecessary detail at times. And the plot didnt startle me. But I did really enjoy the depiction of dementia from the effected's point of view. I think that was well played and very interesting. Even coming from someone who works directly with dementia patients.

מזכיר במידה רבה את "אליזבת איננה", אך האחרון טוב ממנו.
בהחלט אפשר לוותר.

Loved the premise, and it came out perfectly. Great writing.
emotional mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I liked reading the main character's POV as she is an unreliable narrator because of her dementia. I found the use of italics for all external dialogue an interesting choice that made everything seem almost dream-like. A bit predictable but still a solid read.
