The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir by Michele Harper

4.0

This was a great memoir! I loved a medicine-focused memoir that's approachable to readers outside of medicine, and this book was certainly that! It follows Dr. Michele Harper, whose an ER doctor in New York and then (in this book primarily) in Philadelphia. Each chapter follows an influential patient, as Harper includes anecdotes about her personal evolution after a surprising divorce and opinions about the state of medicine/society at large. I loved the range of ER experiences/people included in this book and found Harper's writing enjoyable to read. This was the perfect book to come in and out of while I've been finishing up my last semester of college!
