Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for access to this e-arc.
This review will cover both the e reader edition and the audio from audible as I ended up reading this on publication day. This was a wild ride and not for the feint of heart. It's a strong and impactful story written from the pov of a disabled woman. As someone who has a "invisible" disability I connected with the struggle that I have that are in common, but also had the opportunity to look through a different experience's eyes. If you choose to read this you will go through the full spectrum of emotions and feelings... and come out the other side feeling like you understand humanity better than you did before. I will be thinking about the ramifications of this book for a long time to come. The thought vortex's I got swept up in during include, ways we look for an outlet for our thoughts when we don't have a safe space to share; The ways disability change the way people and society view your abilities, wants and desires. The ways you can be taken advantage of but also the ways you can take advantage of others. What's the difference between being taken advantage of and choosing to sacrifice our rights in order to experience something we are not expected to want. Human desire within a restricted life experience. This was beautifully written and is surprisingly a debut... it did not read like a debut!
I think this will suit readers who look for fiction that makes them think about the world we live in and find value in the proverbial "walking a day in someone else's shoes". and readers that look for fiction that will challenge them.
