Thank you @bookedmark for a copy of this book. After reading the synopsis, I was expecting a rom com with some heavy subject. Unfortunately, this story felt it was more Jess's journey with balancing caring for her mum and living her life. 

I also didn't buy Jess and Alec's romance. Jess was so mean to Alec, I didn't get why he didn't give up on her. 

The story is heartbreaking with what Jess is grappling with. I felt bad for Jess and she decided to isolate herself and didn't form too many friendships which makes for lack of character developments into the side characters.
