Letters from Bed World by Mel Mallory, Mel Mallory

5.0

This is one of the best and most relatable books I've read in a while. It tells the story of a girl named Val who lives with ME/CFS. She has a pet python and has recently lost her sister, Lia. Val is grieving the loss of her sibling and also has to live with her chronic illness while not being supported by her parents and doctors. It's written in verse with makes this book a quick read and easy to digest. This book perfectly captured how to it feels to live with a chronic illness as a young person. The grief that Val experiences is extremely vivid. I can't express how much I love this book.
