Flying on the Inside: A Memoir of Trauma and Recovery by Rachel Gotto – Review by Colleen Noyes

Flying on the Inside: A Memoir of Trauma and Recovery by Rachel Gotto
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I picked up Flying on the Inside mainly because of the subtitle. I was hoping to find a very heartfelt story about a woman’s incredible journey. While there were a few moments that touched my heart, unfortunately it felt more like an information book about the dos and dont’s when it comes to brain trauma. The parts that she shared about Nicola and Nic felt almost forced into the story which then threw it off for me. It all felt more clinical than heartfelt. I can only imagine the hard journey this woman has been on and I think she is incredibly brave to share it. This book gave a lot of information and I think would be extremely helpful and a good resource for anyone who has experienced the same thing. I think that the author did a very good job of researching and admire that she wrote the book at all. If you are looking for a tearjerker type book to connect to like I was I don’t think this will meet that, but if you are looking for a book that you can connect to on a different level you should give it a try for yourself.
