“Hilarious” is a definite oversell here; amusing perhaps, certainly good-natured, but at no point did hilarity ensue. In fact, the only time I laughed out loud was when the narrator acknowledged her weak acting ability. Ultimately, I wasn't even interested enough to finish the book (although, based on the title, I'm assuming she got better and everybody was very proud and told her repeatedly brave she was and they all lived happily ever after.) The characterizations are weak, the dialogue tedious, and there's no dramatic tension to be found for miles.
Free review copy blah blah blah.
Bittersweet story about actress Ruth Marshall and her struggles and triumphs after being diagnosed with a tumour and having to deal with the consequences of that.
There are so many things we take for granted in our day to day life; using the bathroom, standing, walking, knowing where our limbs are and having control over them. When something happens to put that all at risk, we are left floundering. Ruth Marshall tells a compelling story as she deals with all of that and more.
