First of all, the audiobook for this is amazing. Nehanda narrates the audiobook, and there are sound effects and such that just make it a very immersive experience. If you're thinking about picking it up, check the trigger warnings and then definitely try the audiobook.

Also, I am confused about the need to publish this as young adult. This isn't to say that teens don't read books about 20-year-olds (because they do), it feels more like an adult memoir that maybe has crossover appeal. There are moments where Nehanda talks about their childhood/teen years, but it's definitely way more focused on their medical journey and how that lead them to discover more about their own identity. 

Aside from that, this is definitely a powerful story that hits hard about the US medical system, about racism, about family, and about identity. If you're a fan of memoirs in verse, I'd recommend picking this one up!
