This book was so good! It's the absolute best portrayal of living with ME (one of my conditions) I've ever read. There aren't a ton to begin with, but I could tell the author either had it herself or was close with someone who did, and the note at the end proved that was right since her husband has had the illness for over 15 years now. The FMC, Carla, experiences exactly what I do but at times better and at times worse. It's shown so well within the book that it's a spectrum with different levels of severity and how even one person can move between those depending on the day, or even the hour. Carla's experiences of never knowing what will affect it and cause a crash, how there's no known cure or really consistent treatment so you try everything you can, and how isolating it can be because you have little choice and also don't want to be a burden all relatable, a fact that made me simultaneously so happy to see it represented and sad that so many people experience it. Noah is incredible, fitting into her life and wanting to learn and help while not making things worse for her. He has his own mental and emotional trauma around why he continues to risks his body and life doing dangerous stunt work to deal with when he enjoys more artistic work like helping decorate items at the bakery or creating and painting custom car designs. I enjoyed their fake dating/deal story and the way they both fell in love without realizing, both convinced they wouldn't and that the other would be a problem. I hadn't realized there were so many books in this Green Valley universe by different authors and I think I'd like to read more now, at the very least the other two in this specific little series about the bakery. If you want to better understand some of what it's like to live with ME and like romance novels, you should absolutely read this one.
