I will always be appalled by how difficult it is to get a diagnosis for women and how doctors don’t believe or listen to symptoms. This book is a great narrative of having an “invisible” disability and how long it can take to get diagnosed with one. I also think it is a great story that displays the ways individuals deal with their symptoms while trying to find a name for what they’re experiencing.
I don't think I've ever listened to an audiobook where the narrator gets emotional when reading it, but it really held a lot of weight in this story. This book covers a lot of heavy topics and Blair's emotions are clear in her narration.

This book also ends up being so anecdotal that it would perhaps be better advertised as an autobiography rather than a memoir, which implies a stronger focus on a particular topic.
