The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness by Meghan O'Rourke

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

3.75

This book was interesting, while the author did deal with several overlapping and difficult illnesses she did have the enormous privalege to seek out nearly endless medical treatment. As a chronically Ill person that's often hard to hear and not be envious of. But the book also offered a lot of interesting information, medically and socially, and I did enjoy reading it. I especially liked that she concluded without wrapped it all up a neat bow, this really resonated with me and parts of the book made me feel deeply seen, while other parts made me feel ignored and glossed over due to socal and economic barriers. But that in itself is a metaphor for chronic illness.
