About a woman developing Alzheimer's.
I am 'enjoying' it but tbh hating it too. And I want to know how it's going to end - I know how the story will end but I don't know where in the story they will stop iyswim.
Finding it quite hard going emotionally, but it's easy to read and gripping.

I read this recently and found it quite good, but horrifying at the same time. So scary. I didn't mind the ending really, although I think her husband was selfish. I guess the alternative was that she killed herself, but would that have been any better?

Yes it was h6orrifying and he was selfishbut I can see why he acted as he did. I thought it was very realistic, and inside the mind of someone with ad is not a pretty place. Tbh I assumed she would kill herself as that would have made for a nearer ending, but again, more realism that she lost the understanding and concentration to do what she had o carefully planned. Absolutely terrifying.
