I slept on this and I just feel like there is more. I don't know if this rating is fair because there is more in the book, but it ending with more question than answer is a hard pill to swallow. However, I noticed a few chapters in that there is some sort of Morse code happening. I heard there is a community out there to work together to decipher it and I'm not sure I have time. However, I feel compelled to properly end a story that actually got more interested for me instead of more boring. This book grabbed me and pulled me in but I have no answers!

I called the twist of this book as soon as the subject was introduced. The ride was fun if you like drama but I'm a bit disappointed that it was so predictable.

I never expected to come across Aaron Carter's (my forever faveeee) name in two places in this book. I learned a lot and genuinely had a fun time getting some details in band drama, like the split between Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross of Panic!.

I listened on audiobook and I could not stay into it. I was mostly bored and unimpressed by the main guy who's so tough, (eye roll)

This book covered many different types of discrimination, neglect, racism, and trauma in the medical community and a doctor who recognized it. I'm thankful to see someone speaking about the lapses in medicine and how it has impacted people all over, especially marginalized communities.

I listened to this book because of the VCUG mention in Chapter 8. I was given a VCUG 3-4 times from 18m to 6 years old. It wasn't until later that I discovered that my sexual trauma stemmed from this. I can not explain what experiencing this young has done to me here but I spent years knowing I was SAd but not remembering specific events, trauma from the recurring nightmares, inappropriate feelings and play. I was 33 years old when I put it all together. In the end, this was not something fully communicated to my mother and incomprehensible by me. This chapter specifically covered consent and the importance of getting the consent forms signed, with the patient fully understanding the information not really mattering to most at all.

I really liked this book and will recommend it to other women.
