My Name Is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. The medicine part was really fascinating, and from what I already knew seemed pretty accurate. Warning: the author does not pull any punches, if you don't like it when people die don't read it, that's my only spoiler.
The things that kept me from giving this a 5:
-the bits and pieces of romance felt forced, as if the author's publisher made her add it so someone would read it.
-the end is..... so incredibly lame. It's weak and out of nowhere. I can't stand when that happens.
-Not everything is answered, obnoxious.
Despite those faults I really did enjoy the book, especially because it helped me put together a new list of biographies I need to read. i.e. Dorothea Dix, John Hay, and Clara Barton.
