Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan

5.0
An incredibly unique book due to its combination of informative teaching and very immersive moments of true emotion. The book begins with Susannah introducing herself which allows you to create an attachment for when she goes through her “month of madness” where you can actually feel her emotions. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nonfiction book that feels like fiction. Her writing technique is truly stunning and pushed me to finish this in 4 days (shamelessly)
