Still Alice
If a book about a Harvard psychology professor with early onset Alzheimer's sounds unbelievably depressing, you're right. It is. However, the first person narrative really sets this novel apart, as we see Alice's deterioration from her point of view, and her families struggle to deal with it. The book is not mushy or overly weepy, which gives it a great strength. Genova is a neuroscientist, so it was easy to feel like her observations of the disease were accurate.
