You're Not You by Michelle Wildgen

College student Bec is self conscious of her aimless life: she has fallen into an affair with a married professor and a major she has no interest in. In a half hearted effort to redeem herself, she answers an ad for a caregiver and finds herself employed by Kate, a wealthy, happily married woman with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Their relationship develops into a surprising intimacy, and as she observes the implacable changes in Kate her own life takes shape in ways she didn't anticipate. Vibrant and sensuous, this is a fiercely unsentimental yet poignant novel.
What an enjoyable and deeply satisfying novelMichelle Wildgen manages to capture, in some extraordinary way, what it's like to be a fairly ordinary college student, waiting for one's life to begin. An exhilarating debut novel Margot Livesey, author of Banishing Verona
