I read this in two days, it was so easy to keep up with and nothing about it made me want to put it down. The dialogue is really witty and engaging, and while Cloe Brown isn't my favorite Female Lead I've ever read, she's certainly not the worst. I did like the chronic illness/disability aspect of this though, so that helped keep things interesting.

Otherwise, this read like any typical romance book, down to the fight they have in the last 20 pages and make up and then finally say "I love you" for the first time. But also this book was unexpectedly horny. I think the cute cover art made me think it would just be heart-eyes and stolen kisses but no. So very not. Not to say it's a bad thing, but maybe I wouldn't have brought it to work with me if I'd known, haha. I don't tend to read an awful lot of romance but I've never read the word clit so many times in one book as I have this one. Hm. Maybe it should be used more often.

In all, a fun read. No reinvention of the wheel or anything, but it's well written and enjoyable.
