Overall I found it very readable and interesting. There were just a couple parts I thought were a bit slower, but it didn't bother me. I think I rated it 5 stars. I think it's an important book for anyone to read who has to walk through aging with a loved one...and even in thinking about that stage of life for ourselves. It definitely made me think of my grandmother who does currently live in a nursing home. I need to write to her! In these covid days of not being able to visit finding ways to connect with her is so important. This book reminded me of that.
I'm eager to hear what you thought of it.

I did not read the book but after reading your review I really need to.
Three years ago my mother was diagnosed with dementia. I had to move her from her home to an assisted living facility. Last week I had to move her to a memory care facility where she will be locked in and get more care. It broke her heart and mine. I blame the virus and the isolation for her declining mental health.
Yes, write you grandmother a letter and if you can call her often just so she knows you are still there for her.
I am going to my library website right now and see if I can check out the book. Thanks for recommendation.
Love you, my friend.
