Book: The Days I Loved You Most

 Book: The Days I Loved You Most

This is my 203rd read for the year

This is the story of Evelyn and Joseph.  They fell in love in the 40s and have been married ever since.  3 kids and several grandkids later, Evelyn has been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease and decided she wanted to leave this life on her terms.  And Joseph wants to go with her.  When they tell their family that this is their last year, the family explodes with confusing and anger.  But Evelyn and Joseph are determined to make this a great year to leave their family with many good memories.  

This was an okay book.  I read it for a reading challenge, and was hoping for a better love story.  The story goes back and forth between Evelyn and Joseph's past and their present and intermingles their kid's feelings with a few chapters as well.  But it fell flat for me.  The writing was okay.  I really didn't like Evelyn at all.  The others were just okay.  Joseph was the only one that really didn't seem self absorbed.  I did not like the ending, but should have seen it coming.
