 - Wow, y’all! CONDITIONS OF A HEART totally knocked me out. I enjoyed Mangle’s first book, but this one is on another level.
- I loved Brynn and her family, who all felt like real people each trying to do what they thought was best.
- Brynn is a fantastic protagonist, with a snarky inner monologue and a huge knot of complicated feelings to work through. It’s rare to see a novel unpick so many aspects of having a chronic disability, and this book tackles so much while still remaining a engaging read brimming with love.
- On top of the discussions of disability, the book also deals with classism and generational privilege and power. Also, quite importantly, there’s a cat cafe!
