feel like i could study this for a year...really loved it but sometimes felt like it was missing something
The Love Surgeon: A Story of Trust, Harm, and the Limits of Medical Regulation by Sarah B. Rodriguez
dark
informative
tense
slow-paced
5.0
This book took me over half a year to read, mostly because it was so horrifying and distressing. Despite that, it is a fantastic read with a lot of insight, and I can't recommend it enough.

Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist by Judith Heumann, Kristen Joiner
4.5
Genuinely made me tear up. I wish there was a little more of a call to action than just "vote" and more analysis on what disabled people are currently experiencing and how to advocate for change, but an absolutely beautiful memoir

Such a sweet sweet book. Felt a little too YA for my tastes, which I absolutely should have realised before I read it, but I absolutely loved reading this :) I've recommended this book to several others already.

Something about the tone/organization of this was subpar to me—I felt a little lost at times. Maybe could have used more structuring
