Query: Sorry, I thought this a very contrived story

Reading the other reviews posted for this book I realize I am not in the majority, however, I did not find this book entertaining at all. The author went to too many extremes with the characters in their actions and reactions. I found it unbelievable that Emily could be so ill with Alzheimers and Joan still felt compelled to care for her...as if she was convinced she could handle that type of situation . The nightmares of Matt and the total snub by his friends after Bill was killed were very unrealiatic.I did not like this book at all.
