It’s Jake birthday. He has lost his wife, his son is in prison, and he is about to lose his past. Jake has Alzheimer’s.

This is one of my May’s book. I took a while to finish this book. It was a bit boring and strangely it was talking about Alzheimer’s and I was having this feeling when reading the book! A character appears in the storyline and I’m confused, was it there before? Then chapters later the character is introduced. You go back and forth in Jake’s memories leaving you unsure which part of his life you are in until further down. Some characters didn’t make sense leaving you with unanswered questions, like his daughter.

Alzheimer is a scary disease, I really hope they find a cure for it and not just medications to delay its effect. You really feel the sense of lost and confusion the character is going through and not only their own frustration and anger but of those surrounding them.
