Sick Girl - Amy Silverstein

Sick Girl - Amy Silverstein (2007)
In her early twenties Amy, a New York law student becomes sick with a virus and ends up having to have a heart transplant. Expected to only live for a further 10 years she writes this book at the 17 year post transplant milestone, married and with a son.

I have read other reviews that remark on her honesty and courage. To be honest I found her a bit whiney and annoying. I am sure her journey has been super stressful and difficult, but I felt weighted down by her story and wished she could have stopped to smell the roses more often.

Interesting stuff though 2/5
