Every Note Played by Lisa Genova

This is a tough one for me. I loved Still Alice, and I really wanted to love this book just as much!
A few things I did appreciate:
1. It was clearly written from an educated perspective of someone who understood the medical and emotional side of ALS
2. The author did not try to make anything beautiful out of the disease. There was no sugar coating, nor an attempt to make the story something beautiful the way that other books like these might. It was just real.
That being said, I couldn’t connect with any of the characters. They all honestly annoyed me. I also found there to be a lack of character development and plot.
