Moderate: Infertility
Such a beautiful memoir! Suleika generously takes us on her journey from diagnosis of leukemia in her early 20s with a 35% chance of survival, chemo treatments, a bone marrow transplant, and through her transition to learn how to live again. This is a great example of literary non-fiction. The story propels forward despite the weight of the fight she's facing and the fear that haunts her everyday life. Suleika takes us inside her friendship/relationship(s) and I was fully invested. I was rooting for everyone's well-being, survival, and to find their way through this life, interrupted.fiberreader's review against another edition
