I really enjoyed the majority of this book. It took me a bit to get into it, but once I did I thought it was great. I think this book is such amazing representation of not only anxiety but how it feels to have a chronic illness that isn't immediately visible to the world and that at times feels like it's all in your head. So while I don't have anxiety to the extent Steffi does  I still felt incredibly seen by this book. There were definitely some parts that hit a bit too close to home, especially the conversations and fears around Steffi attending university, but I'm very glad I read it.
