Have you ever woken up and just not felt like yourself? Brain on Fire is a compelling story following author Susannah Cahalan through her shocking and disturbing journey of terrifying medical mysteries. Based on a true story, Cahalan recounts the days she barely remembers. She professionally weaves interviews, medical documents, and stories from friends, family, and doctors into an absolutely captivating book. I found myself many times reading with my mouth hanging open. I wondered what was wrong, would the doctors be able to help her, and how did it all begin? Could it happen to me?

What I loved most was her utter honesty when it came to explaining her feelings and what happened to her.
