✱✱ Book Review ✱✱ Moments of Joy by Ysa Arcangel

Moments of Joy 
Moments to Remember Book 1
by Ysa Arcangel



With her family history of Alzheimer's and at great risk of acquiring the disease, Brandy Curtis always plays safe. She had always avoided commitments like the plague. 

However, everything changed when she met Ivo, a gorgeous doctor with irresistible charm. He was just supposed to be another hookup, but he quickly became so much more. 

It started as a one night stand which was followed by another, and another. The more nights they spent together, the more Brandy felt that life had given her something to live for.

The timing couldn't be worse. As her heart gets closer to Ivo, her memories begin to fade.

Will Brandy be able to actually have moments of joy with Ivo against the odds of losing herself into the recesses of her tangled brain?

Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐

After reading the blurb, I expected an emotional story and I certainly found that here with Brandy's struggle with early onset Alzheimer's. I was happy to find the moments of levity throughout. On the whole, the book is a bit reminiscent of The Notebook with the magnetic connection between Ivo and Brandy and the journal entries. The pair does have good chemistry and Ivo's devotion to Brandy is obvious. However, as much as those things pulled me into the story, their intimate scenes pulled me out. They just didn't quite work for me. They felt almost forced or detached. And, be prepared because this one doesn't really end. I realize that this is the first in a continuing story, but it just kind of stops on the last page. Not so much a cliffhanger, but it certainly has an unfinished feeling to it. So, in the end, I finished this one with a middle of the road feeling. There were some things I really liked and others, not so much.
