This book is so good! I think it expanded on and added to the conversation that The Yellow Wallpaper, the short story it was inspired by, started.

There are a handful of doctor visits that Violet goes to where the medical professionals think she is faking it or that her mental health is physically manifesting itself into her symptoms. There is also a chapter that takes place in the ER where Violet has her blood drawn but it is not graphic.moonytoast's review against another edition

The only thing keeping this from being a solid 5 stars was the ghost story aspect. It felt unnecessary to the plot, and I would have liked to have seen her relationships with her friends develop more instead of seeing so much of the ghost story aspect. But, this is a VERY good representation of chronic invisible illness, the range of reactions people have toward people with those illnesses, and the horrendous flaws in the medical system and how people with invisible illnesses/disabilities are often treated.
