Poor Little Sick Girls: A love letter to unacceptable women by Ione Gamble
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
Started this book while in the hospital waiting for my mom to come out of surgery. Undergoing surgery sounded more interesting than anything this book had to say.
I related to a lot of the author's thoughts in the parts where she talked about struggling with her health, but once she moved on from her personal experiences the book sort of fell apart. The book has such a preachy tone, constantly making shallow statements and then never digging deeper in any subject - the book ended up reading more like self-help (or a really long Twitter thread) than a collection of related essays.
