The audiobook is just as good as the book. This is such a deeply informative memoir that's close to my heart.
Would've gotten a higher rating but I found it boring at times. Still a great book!

This memoir was beyond intriguing and I had found it almost impossible to put down at times. It was such a harrowing account. Even after reading about Susannah's experience, I still could not fully wrap my head around how disorientating and debilitating it must have been to actively go through what she did whilst not knowing what her diagnosis was.
The background information provided on the topic throughout really illustrated how terrifying the body and brain behaved during Susannah's experiences with her disorder. It was just insane to read about how fragile our psychological and physiological systems could be. I had also really liked the pacing within the memoir as I felt that the quicker pace narrative played a large role in immersing the reader as Susannah's disorder had progressed rather rapidly as well.

Had watched the movie and enjoyed it, so wanted to try the book. It was very informative of the struggles Susannah and her close ones went through during her illness and diagnosis.

A scary disease and obviously, a terrifying experience.
From a journalist, I would've expected a book that flowed a lot better. The middle third (hospital stay) had so much medical jargon that I found hard to follow since I don't have a medical background. The last third (post-hospital) jumped around and I was bored by then.
One year of a person's life is hardly a memoir - this book would've been better as a lengthier article.
