They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies That Raised Us by Prachi Gupta

challenging reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

very engaging on audio and while I didn’t go in expecting to read all day, I ended up listening to this book for 5.5 hours straight and finished it in a day. Gupta’s writing is gripping and engaging and I appreciate her analysis and reflection on her life and parsing out mental health experiences from between two cultures. 

reminds me of: What My Bones Know (Stephanie Foo), Between Two Kingdoms (Souleiki Jaoud), Mad World (Micha Frazer-Caroll), and Trick Mirror (Jia Tolentino)
