Sick: A Memoir by Porochista Khakpour
3.0

This book made me reflective about my own thoughts about people with invisible health issues, which I know to be more skeptical than sympathetic. It also made me very afraid of Lyme disease!

The narrative is incoherent, but so were her experiences. I wish she had focused more on how she felt her experiences were impacted because of her gender and color, which she asserts they were without really giving many examples. To be clear, I don’t doubt her assertion; I just wish for more insight into it.
