This is a really well put together introduction to living with a chronic illness. Written in an open, friendly tone, Stacey works through issues such as illness management, relationships, mental health and more. She acknowledges problematic attitudes within our ableist world with a good balance of frustration, hope for change and above all compassion for ourselves. Her advice about rethinking our life choices with kindness and self-care are written with friendliness and vulnerability. This is an excellent first stop for anyone who is struggling to manage their condition.
