I think it was the emotional honesty that struck me the most about her book, and this shouldn't come as a surprise to those who follow her on social media. She shares upsetting accounts of her frightening brushes with anaphylaxis, and while the practical anaphylaxis essentials are covered, her book offers an important insight into the psyche of an adult with allergy that for me personally was more important to understand.
