Why read it?

1 author picked Seize the Day as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I could relate to Abby’s struggles of living with epilepsy and how her family was impacted by her seizures.

I liked that Abby explained what she felt before she had a seizure, the emotional toll her epilepsy took on her, and how her seizures impacted her everyday life. I liked that Abby explained how she dealt with having seizures in high school and college. I enjoyed reading about her determination to earn a college degree despite having seizures.

I found her story to be inspirational and one that I could relate to since we both have experience with having epilepsy.
