Every Note Played

by Lisa Genova
The main characters, Richard, a world-famous pianist who develops ALS, and Karina, his ex-wife and caregiver, are about as far from perfect as two humans can be. At times, neither is overly likable–they certainly both have their faults. This is an eye-opening account of ALS and how it affects both the patient and caregiver.

We will be hosting Lisa on her “Every Note Played” book tour on March 27th – tickets here.

If you liked her book “Still Alice” you’ll love this!

My Ex-Life

A hilarious account of a middle-age gay man, David Hedges, who has made a nice life for himself in San Francisco. Introduce ex-wife, Julie Fiske, who lives in a seaside village outside of Boston. Julie and David broke up years ago for obvious reasons, but they’ve remained – vaguely – in touch. His book is about love and friendship and what relationships can look like when you truly love someone.

Lost Roses

Nine Perfect Strangers

by Liane Moriarty
I have to be honest here, I’m a big Liane fan but thought this book didn’t hold up to her other blockbusters – “Big Little Lies” and “The Husband’s Secret”. I was initially intrigued about the nine characters gathered at a remote health resort, but found myself getting bored with the progress. It was definitely worth reading – there are some funny moments and I stuck it out till the end – just not one of my favorites!

If you liked Celeste Ng’s “Little Fires Everywhere” you’ll like this!
