The best way I can reference this book is a cross between Tuesdays with Morrie and Me Before You.
This was a beautifully written book. It gave a deep insight into how one person might experience the disease, but there was also the family story which makes it different to Tuesday’s with Morrie.
Reading a book like this makes it so hard to believe that voluntary euthanasia is still not legal in Australia (except for Canberra with extremely tight, almost unattainable requirements)
I get that the relationship portrayed between Katrina and Richard was complex with years of hurt and betrayal behind it, but I wish there had been a bigger resolution to those issues. I felt like the apologies between Richard and his ex wife and daughter was left too late, I couldn’t relate to that because that would be the first thing I’d take care of! Even before a wheelchair or voice aid etc
