Review: 2018.509 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: Haley’s situation is sad, having to lose her legs, but her logic seems sound, and she’s made her decision for herself based on the best available information. She’s still in control of her own life, and that’s a victory of sorts.
Con: Half the letter is as-you-know-Bob stuff: information her readers should already be very familiar with.
