You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone by Rachel Lynn Solomon
3.0
This book was much heavier than I had anticipated. TW for self-harm, su*cidal thoughts, terminal sickness, family trauma, toxic/unhealthy relationships. I learned quite a bit from this book about Jewish culture and Huntington’s Disease. It was all very interesting and I am glad I read it for those things. However, something was just lacking for me.
Again, it was much heavier than I expected. It’s certainly not an uplifting and inspiring story about coming together in the face of adversity. And it doesn’t have to be. But I was caught off guard by just how toxic the relationship between the two sisters was. It was relentless for nearly the entire book. The tone would shift every once in a while and they’d be “okay”. I think I was even more thrown off by these parts. Overall I think the tone was just inconsistent.
