Loved this book! Such an interesting concept of a woman - and her family - suffering from little-known Huntington’s disease. Mara didn’t know she had the disease because she was adopted, and didn’t know her birth parents’ medical history. Thankfully her own daughter is also adopted, and they know from her medical records that Laks doesn’t have a disorder. On a forum for nontraditional families, Mara talks about being an adoptive parent, and befriends a man who is fostering an eight-year-old boy, even though his pregnant wife isn’t thrilled with the situation. The concept of “five days left” builds a lot of suspense, and the ending couldn’t be any more satisfying. I look forward to reading more from Julie Lawson Timmer! This book reminded me of Lisa Genova, so if you like her you’ll like this, or if you liked this book, check out Genova’s as well!
