This is a fast-paced, easy read that would appeal to crime lovers of any age. However, I had a hard time reading this story, primarily because Penelope’s ITP is exaggerated and sensationalized.
Despite noticing some minor inaccuracies and overlooked details, I’m very impressed with the effort the author put into creating an accurate portrayal of the autoimmune condition ITP.
For disabled characters, being cured is a common trope. What’s more, in most of these narratives, the characters are cured because they’re better than they were at the start of the book: kinder, gentler, braver. And finally, finally, they’re normal and whole.
