This was a delight!! I LOVED Chloe and Red’s dynamic; I could really feel their chemistry and pining, and their narrative voices were really distinct. Chloe’s perspective meant a lot to me as a chronically ill person as she was intensely relatable. I’ve docked a half star because I didn’t like how the third act breakup was executed. I did, however, LOVE the reconciliation.

I finished this book in merely two sittings, simply because you know, a chronically ill woman reading about another chronically ill woman’s love life gets reminded of the fact that she should get some sleep once in a while. Do I still cringe at certain descriptions in romance novels? For sure. Am I still convinced this book is revolutionary in more ways than one? No doubt about it.

The representation in this book means so much to me, as someone who’s been struggling with chronic pain, fatigue and the insecurities that come along with it for free. Be sure to pick it up if you like the enemies-to-lovers trope with a dual point of view, love cats just as much as I do, are into artsy guys and can strongly identify with a disabled, Black and/or curvy female protagonist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 out of 5 stars) from me!

Although I’d say the writing style isn’t anything extraordinary, it’s a quick and fun read and even though there were a little too many sh*ts and f*cks and other inappropriate words according to my personal taste (I’m more of a poetic descriptions kinda gal), I’m sure this book (especially Red’s way of paying attention to and caring for Chloe) will hold a place in my heart for quite a while.

If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. The characters are diverse, and as someone who struggles with chronic illnesses myself, the disability rep was brilliant. Such a great book, and I cannot wait to finish the trilogy!

Devo ammettere che l'inizio, ad eccezione del prologo, non mi aveva praticamente convinta.
Ciò era particolarmente legato al fatto che, conoscendo i fatti e i sentimenti di entrambi personaggi tramite i due pov utilizzati, la tensione dovuta ai malintesi e incomprensione venisse meno quasi immediatamente.

Questo per fortuna è mitigato più si va avanti nella storia, o quanto meno diventa più comprensibile una volta che il lettore è informato delle profonde paure psicologiche che portano i due protagonisti ad agire come fanno.

Poi, tutto questo viene in gran parte della grande premura che Red ha, ed applica, verso Chloe, cosa  che lo rende uno degli interessi romantici migliori che io abbia visto, almeno di recente.

Inoltre,

il solito litigio prima del finale era molto comprensibile, così come la loro difficoltà a comunicare in quel determinato momento

.

In più, devo dire che i personaggi sono ben descritti a livello comportamentale e psicologico.
