*And yes, there are a lot of potential triggers discussed in this book but Dr. Harper handles each topic with such sensitivity and grace that, while this may be a challenging read for some, it is not carelessly or blatantly triggering. I hope the content warnings don't drive away any potential readers.

I would truly love to read more from her in the future, and I hope she does continue writing.
As this is a memoir, I am not giving it a star rating. I do highly recommend for people to read this.

I've added a lot of content warnings, but the book is about an ER doctor, after all. They were certainly intense, but not as upsetting as they might have been in another context, if that makes sense.
