I've read and listened years ago.. this is a 'Reread' of the Audiobook version narrated by the Author

Read this page twice...

Oh..... okay. I have new theories 🤪 on a character but do I want to be wrong or not, hmmmmm..... (no spoilers from me!) Of course I'm also sus of everyone....

Hmmmmmm...... plot speculation thought bubble 💭 read my thought if you want, it's no spoiler, just what I thought here.

How would this person have known that 'that person' was there? Sus. (based on pg 119/120)

Opening narration before prolouge. Oh man.

Ch 14. So hard for me to get into this. Not a page turner yet. It's slow so far.

Heartwrenching. Grabbed me from page 1. What a rare gem this is.

I haven't been able to read this lately... I've had to research. I am reminded now not to ever complain again for being tired after reading fiction into the late night hours.... these past few weeks have been brutal! I am one smart cookie now regarding education in NYS! whew..........exhausting.......

Haven't had the reading time, but I am really enjoying this so far! LOVE the Ward's show, don't tell writing.

Having lost my father-in-law a year ago and with the question lingering in my mind, "What about my husband, my children, their children?" This book stands to help answer things I, as a caregiver to an Alzheimer's patient, didn't process-until now.

Often avoided and misunderstood, if you have/had relatives with Alzheimer's, this is still an eye opener with much food for thought. While fictional, it depicts very accurate and well researched information, by the highly qualified author, Lisa Genova.

I just finished a story that is so big, so scary, so very honest, from the perspective of a mother, wife, and highly regarded professor-living with Alzheimer's. Do not shy away from this book. It's remarkable. It will bring to forefront of your thinking: Who are you? What defines you? How do you cope with a terminal illness, one often regarded differently than the (dare I say) noble battle of cancer.

The real tears have arrived... sniffle sniffle.

So familiar, very scary...

So familiar, very scary...

BRILLIANT PROSE. I needed to read a book that was smarter than me; it was time....

Lovely, so lovely...

sweet, endearing words...........sigh.

wait-what ever happened with John???

Wow, there's an unmistakable turning point!

Hanging on every word so far-sucked me right in. The flight scene in the beginning was like watching a horror movie when the soon-to-be-murdered girl opens the door.... I was already squirming and willing them to get on the radio and request help before it got worse!

UGH.... I don't know, maybe not... but it is close...

I would say this book belongs in the NEW ADULT genre, though the summary claims otherwise.

Ack! How can I already love the words, the story, the characters..when it's...it's just evil!!! Hard to root for Ellie when she's got so much baggage, she reminds me of an addict. Love her POV and the 3rd person flashbacks though!

I changed my profile settings. I don't want to bog down my friends feeds by having my comments and likes and posts to other friends pages showing up on their feeds... So, if you see after today they are still showing up please let me know! You should see my books added and my reviews added--but NOT my random comments on others pages! Thanks!

I finally understand why this all seems so 'young' to me...because it NEEDS to be (I think). I do have some issues with the story so far, but now...I am beginning to understand ...gah! Now I suspect it's going to move fast and furiously to the....end.
