5.0 out of 5 stars Like reading my own thoughts (but way more eloquent)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2022
Verified Purchase
I’m chronically ill, I have been for 12 years, and reading this book was honestly like reading my own diary but written in a beautiful, eloquent way.
Being chronically ill can feel so isolating and when I read Ione Gamble’s words it makes me feel like I have an ally, another chronically I’ll friend who just GETS it.
Highly highly recommend!
Also the cover art by Polly Nor is so beautiful it’s worth owning just to display on your coffee table!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gives voice to people suffering with chronic illness
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book helps chronically ill people feel seen and understood. The author shows how chronically ill people face both the limitations and pain of their condition but also how they have to do this within a society that is rigged against them. It isn’t that people are inherently ableist but because society aspires to the unrealistic ideals of optimum promoted by main stream media but especially social media.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly mind blowing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2022
Verified Purchase
It’s honest, incredibly intelligent food for thought that will change and inform your mind on things so many don’t say out loud. A must read for any woman, man or teen who wants to ‘get it’ so that they can take on the world a little more enlightened.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting to a point
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2022
Verified Purchase
The premise of the book is complaining, which I understand but it's a tiring read. Low on solutions, high on labels. But it should help further the conversation regarding ableism.
