Writing a book review for Working Draft, an award-winning magazine — thoughtful enough to do the subject justice, compelling enough to make someone who's never heard of the book want to read it.

the challenge

the approach

Chronic pain is deeply personal, and Look Ma, No Hands doesn't let you forget it. The goal was to meet the book where it lives — honest, unfiltered, and a little uncomfortable — and write a review that reflected that same energy without overshadowing the author's voice.

The outcome

A review that gives readers an honest feel for what the book is and who it might resonate with — written for Working Draft Magazine as part of their ongoing coverage of meaningful, underrepresented stories.
