When I Married My Mother: A Daughter's Search for What Really Matters - and How She Found It Caring

I have several drafts of reviews to get through, but I'll go ahead and do this one. This book was a DNF that I started reading through the Amazon Prime loan program. That means that I was reading for free, so I wasn't out any money from DNFing the book. I liked the title, and the premise intrigued me.

Let me begin by saying that I did not DNF this book because of anything about the actual book. The beginning of the book was admittedly slow, and it was a little difficult to get involved, but once I got going, the book was well-written. It was written in a simple, almost conversational tone. I had no actual complaints about the book as it was written.

My reason for DNFing this book were, really, just personal. As I was reading it, it was bringing up a lot of thoughts and memories about dementia and dealing with people who have or have had dementia in my life. I know that one of the primary purposes of books is to make you think, and I do agree with that, but sometimes you don't want to think while you're reading. Or, at the very least, you don't want to think about certain things. In the end, this book made me feel uncomfortable, and that wasn't the emotion that I was looking for while reading.

I am including the link, in case someone wants to read the book. I receive nothing from the sales of this book.
