Still Alice by Lisa GenovaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Heartbreaking and very realistic.
I could identify with Alice as I had problems with my memory (lack of sleep luckily) right before I was diagnosed with PMR so I could relate to her fear and frustration and I think telling the story from Alice's POV made it more powerful although I would have liked to have learned more about her husband and children. Lydia was the only other character I really felt like I got to know. John (the husband) seemed really distant to me except for the one time when Alice told him she missed herself and he said he missed her too.
