What a tough and devastating story but also I think the way she dug into this all was brilliant. There were so many parts that I think people in the medical field would love but I found boring - I could see medical personal giving this book a much higher rating. (Audio on Libby)

This was such a fascinating “investigative journalism” take on a memoir the author had no memory of. I was fascinated by it and appreciate the importance of spreading the word about this rare disease.

A fascinating account of how Susannah experienced an illness that nearly went undiagnosed and how her family fought to get her well.
This was very engaging to read, Susannah explained what happened to her, how it was treated eventually, but also how others go untreated or misdiagnosed.
The chapters are short and easy to follow and kept me interested throughout.

A family friend was just diagnosed with encephalitis and another friend is in the ICU getting neuro checks every few hours. To say this book hit close to home is a massive understatement.
This was an easy read, but was informative and deep. I also enjoyed the writing style; the author is a New York Post journalist, and this book is her first-hand experience of encephalitis caused by a rare autoimmune disease.

Wow! What a story! Susannah's story about her illness is captivating and intense. She's very honest about her experience even when it's not a pretty picture and even hard to hear. Her family's love and support was also moving.
