My Body is a Haunted House by Christina Marie Brown
5.0
The book mainly rotates around endometriosis and chronic illness, shedding light on the many consequences one has to endure daily and how hard it can be to explain something that’s not exactly visible. Painful, nevertheless.
I have a chronic illness myself, which is so invisible sometimes I forget about it, but it always makes sure to come back at me and knock me out. I could relate to many pieces, but Christina’s writing is so precise and fulfilled by emotions that I felt the pain even behind those pieces that I couldn’t really deeply understand.
I feel like with this book I could finally have a better grasp on Christina’s writing, better than I ever experienced from her instagram posts, not that those aren’t good. But the book gave a whole other experience that I truly recommend to everyone, even to the “super healthy” people. Actually, particularly to those because it’s always good to educate oneself and be aware and understanding.
