Interpreting lycanthropy as a chronic illness is a really interesting premise, and this book does pretty well with it. 

There were a few points where I disagreed with the author about how people use Discord and Tumblr.

The last 100 pages are really good and worth the more mediocre beginning

So, so well-written. The author captures the feelings and experiences surrounding chronic illness SO well. It's truly remarkable, and on that vein I do warn that it can be triggering. Not just for (physical) chronic illness but mental health as well.

Took me longer to read than I wish it had, but that had nothing to do with the book itself. It is a great read with a lot of wit, it is very targeted towards Gen Z and their type of humor and at some points was a bit much.

I really enjoyed it and I felt like I learned a lot about Chronic Illnesses that I didn’t know before.
