I received a copy of this book through Penguin's First To Read program for my review.

Three stars means "I liked it," right? I did like this; I even cried at some parts. It was a great perspective on what it's like to live with Huntington's Disease. It sounds like a horrible disease and there are plenty of reasons for Mara to go ahead with her plan after diagnosis, but personally couldn't agree with her decisions. Then there's also the perspective of Scott, who just finished a 12 month temporary guardianship of an 8 year old boy with his wife. I think this story was the most uplifting. The two characters are connected because they both met through an online forum for unusual families. That's their only connection. If it wasn't for that, these two stories could be stand alones. And besides my own personal issues with suicide, having two separate characters live two separate lives within one book just doesn't make sense to me.
