I Live a Life Like Yours: A Memoir by Jan Grue

4.0

A really great look at what life with a disability is like. Written by Norwegian author Jan Grue who has spinal muscular atrophy and uses a wheelchair, this book is full of insightful commentary on how human people with disabilities are and the unique challenges they face. I especially enjoyed the sections about him and his wife experiencing the birth of their first child. At certain points he gets a little too cerebral, quoting other writers but overall this was highly relatable and a great book for able bodied readers to educate themselves. Recommended for fans of books like Sitting Pretty by Rebekah Taussig.
