I hated that the daughter >! with breast cancer!< was basically used as a plot moppet. >!She conveniently died and then the main character could commit/undergo euthanasia with no pesky relatives complicating the situation.!< It just seemed so lazy in terms of plotting.

Wasn’t the whole thread tagged as a spoiler? And if people are discussing their opinions on a book wouldn’t you expect them to use examples from the book to back up their opinions? Or is everyone just supposed to say “it’s good” or “it’s bad” without any context?

Hey I’m active in many bookclubs and we manage to get pretty deep in discussions without specific spoilers. But somehow I must have missed seeing a ‘spoiler’ tag on the original post, and the comment also wasn’t marked as a spoiler, otherwise I’d simply have skimmed over. Now I won’t bother reading the book.
