Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses by Kristen O'Neal

5.0

This was the book I never knew I needed. I bought it over a year ago, but could never muster up the courage to read it until recently. As someone managing chronic pain, unsure of where it came from or why, I felt so deeply so many of the things discussed, the quotes by the characters. I’ve been mad at God, just like they have. I’ve let myself get dark, I’ve been told it was in my head, I’ve fought for doctor recognition. Things all of the characters in the chat group have been through. I won’t say there weren’t parts that were triggering, but they were in a way that I needed to experience. To read about relatable characters and listen to their insights. This book was very well written and served the purpose of being not only an entertaining read, but also an inspiring one. I am very happy I finally found the courage to start it.
