Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan

4.0

---

Susannah Cahalan was 24 when the events of this book happened, a fact that has really shaken me to my core. Not to minimize the trauma of needing to rely on the memories of her family and friends and notes from doctors to fill in the gaps for this story, but it was an unusual outside perspective for a memoir that helped create a broader picture of what was happening both to Susannah and to the people around her.
