Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan

[Devon]

This memoir is about a young, seemingly healthy woman who has everything together: amazing job, new exciting relationship, independence, and then begins to have a host of debilitating symptoms, including seizures, psychosis, and numbness. The book traces her illness. It's extremely interesting and the author does a really great job drawing you in. However, it did drag a little bit toward the end. Overall, if memoirs are your thing and you like strange, mystery diagnoses, this book is for you.
