You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone by Rachel Lynn Solomon
2.0
I was really excited to read this when I heard about it. I’m a medical student, so I know a lot of the clinical and pathological details about Huntington’s, but I hadn't seen it with a human perspective. I had no insight into what it was actually like to have Huntington’s, what it’s like to have a family member with Huntington’s and the implications of the genetics involved.
I really enjoyed it at the start. I was ready to give it 4 stars 30% through. I liked reading about a Jewish family, I learnt a lot and it was really interesting. I liked the family dynamics, the twin sister dynamics as well as how Huntington's was dealt with..
But then like 50% through the book just became so hateful and vindictive. I kinda get it, the issues are extremely hard to deal with. But it was terrible to read, it was pages and pages of petty fights and drama and vengeance.
