A beautiful love story exploring the relationship between two teens with chronic illness. The focus of the narrator struggling with a chronic but often unseen condition really resonated with me, as someone who minimizes my own unseen pain condition. There were definitely times when I didn't connect to the story, largely because I'm pretty far from my own teenage years and don't connect well with YA in general, but I gained a lot from this read and will be recommending it pretty widely to my friends in healthcare.
