I'm a crying mess right now. I have no idea what ALS is when I started this but the writer managed to deliver this beautiful story while keeping it informative. This book tells a story of Richard, a well-known classical pianist who was diagnosed with ALS during the peak of his career. 

As the disease quickly eats him up, his ex-wife, Karina offered to take care of him. 4 months of living together, with countless near death experiences, they managed to reconcile their relationship and found a closure. This is definitely a heart wrenching story that will stick with me for some times.
