The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir by Michele Harper

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

It is so easy for me to say this is one of the best books I've read this year. The writing is so phenomenal, especially for this being the author's first published writing, and it touches so beautifully on self growth and the importance of instances that 'break' you. I think her experience as a doctor - although I am not in the same field or life situation - is completely relatable and decisive in my own self growth journey. She writes other people's experiences so wonderfully, while describing it plainly with medical and current facts but also tying in the moments of growth in herself and the other person and just how much one interaction can change you. It's just so well done and I highly recommend this to genuinely anyone who is interested in picking up a new book to read, it's just so wonderful.
