Simply delightful. Hey, what can I say, I worked really hard over 20 years as an Amazon customer to earn my reviewer ranking (#55,586,909). I don't come down from the mountain often to write a review, but when I do I am either mighty pissed or super happy. I am super happy with Gotham Girl Interrupted by Alisa Kennedy Jones.
She's packed a lot in here that will make you laugh and wonder what is going to happen next. Mixing in a little science and history (and pie!) here and there seemed like a clever way (designed just for me!) to keep me curled up and not reaching for my phone. I wish anyone who has experienced their own "interruption" or that of someone close to them could read this book.

I finished reading this book over a month ago, but I've had a hard time figuring out what to say in the review.
Did I like it? Yes and no. I love the author's humor, and her honesty and candor about having a chronic illness (epilepsy). And although I do not have the same chronic illness she does, I can relate to much of what she says. In fact, I wanted to mark passages that spoke to me about chronic illness, and so I put a tab next to it. As you can see from the photo, the book is absolutely bristling with tabs! A lot spoke to me! (I'd be here all day if I tried to quote her!)
I guess I am dropping a star because it is non-linear, and it was sometimes hard for my brain-fog-addled self to follow it.
Otherwise, if you want to learn more about epilepsy or chronic illness, and you like snark, this is just the book!
