    Never Coming Back
    I knew when I was making notes in the middle of the book that something wasn't right. Usually, I'm so involved at that point that I don't write notes. While the idea of the story was basically a good one, I found the writing irritated me. In particular, she often had two characters speaking about the third as if the third wasn't in the room. The character herself kept commenting on it with, "I'm right here". Maybe it was deliberate to mimic the way we often speak around someone who has Alzheimer's. It was done often so I am not sure if it was making a point or a writing style. Either way, it drove me nuts.

    I've rated it average because of the story. It was a clear depiction of suffering with and through Alzheimer's. I did however, realize the answer to one of the secrets almost immediately. For me that's never a good thing.
