I think the thing that frustrates me is that the intended audience switches between the chronically ill, those who are close to chronically ill people, and anyone who is curious about what it's like to live with chronical illness. To me, that is too broad of a scope. Since I fit into the first category, I find myself irked when the tone shifts to address the others.
That is to say, it's partly a memoir, partly a self help book, and partly reference material. I do think that there are some parts that are beneficial and good, but there are others that are so bizarre that I struggled to finish it. Also, reading it might be a triggering experience.
