I picked up this book as a recommendation from one of the discussion forums on this site. I'm glad I got it from the library and did not spend money or a credit on it. It was just OK for me. I admired the young girl, Bec, who was a caregiver for a 30-something women with ALS. She stepped into the caregiver role gracefully and with little inhibitions. However, I was disturbed by the lack of depth the book gave to the marriage of Kate & Evan and the lack of emotion that accompanied her kicking him out when she needed him so much - I guess it was her pride. And, although, Bec was obviously affected by the course of events that take place, she showed very little emotion as well.

I don't know - this one is only 3 stars for me. I had to keep forcing myself to pick it up and keep going -- it was not a fast read for me. I couldn't wait to get through it so I could move on to others in my TBR pile.
