Vulnerability is like a weapon when you have a chronic illness, and the author does an amazing job at highlighting this.
However she also highlights the joys of allowing yourself to find love and a support system despite your so-called “flaws.”
I absolutely adored this book from the cheesy puns, the romance that makes you kick your feet and giggle, and the endo representation.
If you are going to read this book and have a chronic illness, I recommend reading the content warnings and being kind to yourself <3

Thank you Netgalley, and the publisher, for giving me an ARC of this book and allowing me to experience it in exchange for an honest review.
Thank you to the author for being so incredibly vulnerable and sharing this piece of you with us.
This book has me speechless. I normally don’t rate books that have no magic/fantasy elements with five stars but this… THIS. Is beyond five stars. The humor had me genuinely laughing out loud. Multiple times. Genuinely the funniest book I’ve read in a long time if ever. There was so much personality and soul this book felt like a hug. The own voice chronic illness representation was incredibly honest, vulnerable, and raw. I want to put myself in financial distress to buy a copy for every single person I love so they can experience this magic for themselves. Beautiful. Brava!

Oh oh oh!!!! I LOVED this book! I loved the chronic illness rep, I loved the complicated family relationships, I loved the found family, I loved the enemies to lovers and the fake dating and the Brother’s Best Friend tropes and New England rep!!! A perfect and lovely book!
