Loved this book!

I loved this book. VERY well written and a great story that takes place in Madison Wisconsin present day.

Sad subject matter but often very boring

Is it me or are there way too many references to food and wine in this novel? It seemed like all they were doing was sitting down to an elaborate meal or Bec was chopping vegetables. I swear that took up like so many pages! I thought that the relationship between Kate and Bec was endearing but it reached a point where the plot was kind of going off track and could've been a bit more fast-paced. I thought this was going to be much better.

Very interesting and informative novel...

Really enjoyed this book. A novel full of insight. Ponders the question "what is quality of life?" and grapples with the issue of death with dignity and those it affects.

Well-written, honest, great read

I really enjoyed this book. It's very honest and deals with tough issues in a believable way. I look forward to more books by Michelle Widgen!

Bec is adrift. It's the summer before her junior year in college. She's sleeping with a married professor, losing interest in her classes, and equivocating about her career. She takes a job caring for Kate, a thirty-six-year-old woman who has been immobilized by ALS.

As it turns out, before the disease Kate was a stylish and commanding woman, an advertising executive and an accomplished chef. Now, as she and Bec spend long days together, Bec begins to absorb Kate's sophistication and her sensuality, cooking for her, sharing her secrets, and gradually beginning to live her own life with a boldness informed by Kate's influence. The more intense her commitment to Kate, the further Bec strays from the complacency of her college life. And when Kate's marriage veers into dangerous territory, Bec will have to choose between the values of her old life and the allure of an entirely new one.
