Invisible: How Young Women with Serious Health Issues Navigate Work, Relationships, and the Pressure to Seem Just Fine by Michele Lent Hirsch

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

A beautiful book. Extremely validating and extremely intersectional. I don't often find the combination of personal anecdote and journalistic-style non-fiction writing to be that compelling, but here it was done perfectly: I think that has something to do with Lent Hirsch's own active struggle to define her stances on her own health wrt disability and chronic illness. She was very honest about very many things, so that allowed the reader "in" more to create a more involved reading experience. I think everyone should read this book!
