★★☆☆☆
Superficial with an unlikable protagonist
This book reads like a diary that details "how I rehabbed my damaged brain on my own." The writer never seeks professional help (because she is hard-headed), blames her mother for not caring about her injury and situation, while acknowledging she has spent years "pushing her buttons," and puts a dog to sleep to appease her girlfriend. There's no deep thinking or self-awareness in this book and I gave up about halfway through (there was nothing left to learn, except I assume she completed her PhD.) I'm surprised this got past the editorial process (if there was one). You won't learn much about brain injuries, either.
