THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK. At Least You Have Your Health by Madi Sinha is an exceptional book. It has been a long, long time since I have read such an engaging Women's Fiction novel like this one. Many thanks to Berkley Pub for inviting me to review this gem! 5/5 ⭐

Gosh, the drama and the suspense in At Least You Have Your Health were everything! The book is a medical drama with a very, very clever plot. I loved every moment of reading it. ALYHYH 's storyline revolves around how flawed and overlooked the Women's Healthcare System is. The author did an amazing job of highlighting different issues in a very thoughtful manner. The book had so many layers - I could honestly talk about it for hours! 💕

Maya's character arc was so intricately woven. As a South Asian, I related to her struggles with having an academically enriched life. Her relationship with her parents was so thoughtfully written. Maya's activities were unlikeable at times, but honestly, it was understandable. She made me angry, but I also shared a sense of empathy with her. The storyline was complex and there were important lessons all along the way. The battle of alternative VS Scientific medicine is nothing new, but this book made me look into the matter from various different angles.

Maya's kids were absolutely adorable! I loved how she taught them the importance of knowing about the anatomy of your bodies. It was definitely one of my favorite parts of the book. Also, Dean, Maya's handsome was just so amazing. Seeing him support her through everything was just so wholesome. :')

The book represented the themes of sexism, colorism, and motherhood perfectly. One thing I particularly loved is how the author showcased how Maya and Esther had different experiences with racism even though both of them were women of color. It was very eye-opening! I was invested in the storyline from the first chapter, and I couldn't stop until I read the very last line. Madi Sinha's writing has a very addicting touch. I have become a huge fan. If you are a fan of Laura Hankin's novels, I am pretty sure you will love Madi Sinha's books too.
