Umm, why did no one warn me about the opening chapter of Careless People?

For the benefit of anyone with a history of being gaslit (mine comes from autism), the first chapter begins with a firsthand account of a girl surviving a shark attack, with the severity of the medical issues arising from the next 24 hours being downplayed until the medical intervention necessary is indistinguishable from body horror.

Needless to say, reading this is not a desirable way to start a shift at work.

(Also, JESUS CHRIST!!! Glad Wynn-Williams made it out alive.)
