Status Updates From The Autumn Springs Retireme...

On one hand, I’m kind of impressed this book has been so well reviewed and received when research into the setting is severely lacking. Honestly, the story itself and the writing are enjoyable. But to use the word “orderly” when describing an STNA in 2025? Is Nurse Ratched going to show up in her little nurse hat next?

This is so dark!!

I’m wondering if the culprit is the Dr???

"Whoever hurt you, Rose, I’m not that man.
Not all men are evil.” Rose looks at him with pity—enough pity for both of them.
His naivete. Her misfortune. “But some are, Miller,” she says. “And some’s enough.”

1. A retirement home in upstate NY where octogenarians have to walk outside to get from one building to another? Absolutely not.
2. Ratio of male to female residents should be like 1:10. Way too many men so far.
3. A place like this would have emergency pull cords in the rooms.
Good so far, perhaps I just know too much.

Interesting premise.
