Still Alice
By: Lisa Genova
Memories are slowly drifting away from Alice. Will she forget it all? Alice the main character is a professor of psychology at Harvard University. She and her husband John both work at the school together. They are successful and have 3 children, Lydia, Tom, and Anna. Alice has everything figured out in life. She has her routines planned and all her presentations memorized. She slowly starts to forget little things about her routines and forgets words to her presentation. She then realizes that there is something wrong and decides to get checked out. She meets with her doctor a couple time. The last time she visited she was told that she has alzheimer's disease and was struck with fear of what to do now. She has yet to tell her family.
Overall the book is very interesting and keeps you wanting to read more. It is a book with lots of emotions and at moments can be very sad. To some it is seen as uplifting due to seeing that it isn't as bad as you make it out to be. It brings Alice's family together for her. In my opinion I would reccomend this book to other people
