It starts out very Water for Elephants, a look at old age and the treatment of our elderly who can no longer care for themselves. But it quickly pulls you in with a set of crosses and the word DEAD. Instantly, I find myself invested in this story, to know who these names in the address book are, what they meant to the main character, how they impacted her life. I love how the chapter titles are the names of the people in her address book, it's foreshadowing for the chapter without giving anything away. This was an intriguing start to a novel and already has me invested.
