I listened to this as an audiobook during my walks and probably had too much distractions going on to fully appreciate this book.

It was hard to get through as it deals with heavy topics, such as dementia and mother-daughter relationship, and it's also very gritty-realistic. 
A lot of talk of bladders and pissing and perspiration and odor and plucking hairs. 
It could've worked better a tad shorter.
