Not so much a book about caregiving as it is a book about a deeply shitty person who is also a caregiver.
"When Sean is faced with an unexpected and deeply personal tragedy, Janet must let her guard down at last and discover what she's prepared to fight for." Except she doesn't let her guard down. And she isn't prepared to fight for anything, except maybe physically fight the person who's trusted his care to her for nearly a year.
2 stars because the longer the book went on, the less of a fuck I gave about Janet and the more I wished she'd fall down a hole. Poor Sean.
