Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink

I don’t rlly think I can rate this but I also don’t think the author was completely without bias ….

! I’m obsessed with dickinson. I’m definitely the type of person who can picture a book in my head like a movie but there is smth about the way Dickinson writes that is just…super cinematic To Me. Like I think about the flag scene from baru book 1 all the time (iykyk!!). 

Everything was so vivid- from the landscapes to the body horror !!! Lots of interesting questions about god as per usual and about pragmatism which tbh I’ve never thought about before….

Did I understand all of the physics? No. But tbh I think the gist was more important.  The pacing kind of drags a little in the middle of the book but idk I loved it. I feel like the ending was open ended ?

was ssrin talking about her sister???

. Anyway. Loved it.
