Fantastic book! My grandpa has Dementia and I believe after reading this book that my grandma likely has it too. It’s very interesting to think about this disease from the person living with it. Extremely emotional but very well written and super reflective. Makes you really think inwards about if it were you. I liked the science parts in it too.
