To the Left of Inspiration
DNF. I wouldn't have picked this up if I'd known it was a 'justify my disabled existence to the normals' book as opposed to an actual disability memoir. But it is, and I am allergic to such books these days. Not to mention this one is quite dull. It could be interesting – she has a doctorate in psychology and is an avid traveler and reader – but this book works so hard to make her life sound ordinary, guide dog and all, that it comes off as boring.
Also, on a separate note, calling your book "humorous" in the introduction is really not a thing I recommend doing. Basically ever. If you tell people it's funny, it is less funny, this is a rule of the universe.
