Left Neglected by Lisa Genova + A Giveaway

 Left Neglected


What I Can Tell You: 
This is truly one of the best books I have read this year. The writer, Lisa Genova, creates a "real" character. There were times in the beginning, I felt like she was talking about me and I had to remind myself this was a book not about me but about
Sarah. Sarah, our main character was busy. Her life was speeding by with way too many obligations. Multi-tasking through life and missing all of the details until life came
to a complete standstill after a vehicle accident leaves her with a brain injury.

I can completely relate to Sarah's character who now has to rely on her family for
the simple thing. She has to see the world in a whole new way.  This was a total
and complete wake up call. Life is too precious to let it pass you by and not take time to smell the roses. I loved Sarah! I also loved the back story of her relationship with her mother. Sarah's brother drowned when she was a child and her mother and her have
had a rough relationship since.

This is an emotional book and a wonderful read. I had never heard of left neglect
before this and found the research very interesting.

Thanks Lisa Genova, you are an amazing author. I cannot wait to read your other
book Still Alice!
