I really enjoyed this audiobook memoir by Jaouad about her experience being diagnosed with leukemia when she was 22 years old, and having to figure out how to keep on living after surviving her four-year fight with cancer. I thought Jaouad was a really compelling and honest narrator, and I liked how her narrative went over not just the experience she had dealing with cancer, but also what it was like coming back into the real world of the healthy after being in the "kingdom of the sick" for so long. It felt kind of like it ended abruptly after her road trip around the country--I would have liked a little more of what happened to her after that and how she really felt like she continued recovering--but it was already a pretty long book and it was definitely well done.
