Here Among Us by Maggie HarrymanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a different sort of book for me to read. I initially chose to read it due to its coverage of Alzheimer's. I can relate to that because my dad has this disease. I saw a few things that reminded me of him as I read through the book, and this portion truly resonated with me.
I am sad to say that I was unable to connect with any of the characters in the book. It did cover issues of siblings, death, and much more, and the author did a fantastic job of writing about these issues. But I just could not connect with them, and that is just my issue, and mine alone. Nothing against the author.
I could have done without the profanity. It did keep me from enjoying this book as much as I would have liked to. There were some sexual issues, but no bedroom scenes from what I could see. I believe that if the author had shortened the book or possibly divided it into two books, I would have enjoyed the book more. But again, that is my opinion.
If you are looking for a book that covers the issue of Alzheimer's and more, this may just be the book for you.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
