Fantastic essays, deeply resonant, well researched and intelligent. Loved it. Look for the quotes I've shared.

Read more like a series of essays than a memoir which I thought it was but still really engaging

I wanted to like it more but the synopsis doesn’t really match what’s written. The author’s tone was kind of snooty like “I’m chronically so I know all about ___ as a marginalized person.” I wish it would’ve focused more on how she lives as a chronically ill person.

Needed a good developmental edit. Got too annoyed with it.

Some strong chapters but some quite rambly. Easy quick read
