literelli's review

5.0

“[I]t seems everyone gets to be whole but me. They get to be seen for who they are, not for what they aren’t.”
“They say they want me to feel comfortable—not happy, or fully supported—just fine, satisfied enough that I’m not in any pain. Which feels like a low bar to me.”
““People talk about pain like it’s measurable. They’ll ask me to put it on a scale from one to ten. But I’ve been pushing it away so long it’s like my barometer’s broken. I don’t know if I can trust my mind. Or my body. I think part of me thinks I deserve it. Like I should endure it, because that would be the brave thing to do. To be strong.””

Verónica’s story and her journey over a summer really spoke to me- as a disabled teen I too struggled with asserting myself with my doctors and trusting my body and my limits. I loved the way Spanish was woven into the text as a bilingual household, and Dani asserting herself as an abled sibling. 
I really loved it and highly recommend it.
