raeanne's review against another edition
4.0
I swear the blurb for this read that she risked her career to get her crush into the trial study. That's incorrect. I kept thinking about the mix up while reading. Thankfully, I see the current blurb is clearer and not misleading. Hazard of reading review copies early.
-Super cute
-Funny
-Sweet
-Social media manager BFF
-Big sister in college
-Trouble with driving
-She's a beard, which gets complicated when she meets someone she actually likes.
-Typical teen romance in extraordinary situation
-Main couple doesn't get to spend much time together on the page during the story
-Teens are teens, even the Genius
-Relatable and fully of empathy
-Love the push/pull between dreams and growing up too fast and evolving friendships
-Big family with big drama
-All the patients and their family are different and full characters, not just swappable background NPCs.
-Love how the work nemesis was happened and gives space for those that don't cope well.
-Ending is an open satisfying HEAFN.

saira can be such an insufferable character sometimes, but then again she's just a teenage girl so

Middle school readers should know there is some swearing, but it's pretty minimal. TFIOS fans will love this, as will anyone who likes YA romance. And it will also make you HUNGRY!!! The only thing I didn't love was the implication that Davis' medication was the reason for her personality changes. Grief alone can cause personality changes, and I wouldn't want anyone to decide not to take medication for mental health needs because they are concerned about personality changes.

I received this as an eARC through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Saira, the Indian American equivalent of Dougie Houser, is starting her job as a doctor in the children's cancer ward. Ever since she diagnosed her late best friend's leukemia, Saira was determined to become a doctor and be part of the process to help heal those like her friend. At sixteen, many believe that she hasn't had it as difficult as she should, but Saira is determined to prove that she is just as good a doctor as any of her other cohorts. Of course all of her hard work could be ruined because her mother works in the same hospital and is always desperately late and hover-y, though truly it is because Saira met a cute guy on the ward sparks have started to fly and it turns out he is a patient. While he thinks Saira is a patient too, the truth and his presence may create some serious trouble for Saira.
I thought this was an interesting premise that I wanted to like. I did have difficulty ever liking Saira. Also, the story-line felt like a Grey's Anatomy rework.

I love books that end like this because they let my imagination run wild. Thanks for letting me be apart of your story, even if it were for just a moment.
