Took me longer to read than I wish it had, but that had nothing to do with the book itself. It is a great read with a lot of wit, it is very targeted towards Gen Z and their type of humor and at some points was a bit much.

I really enjoyed it and I felt like I learned a lot about Chronic Illnesses that I didn’t know before.

It is a great, inspiring, relatable book if you struggle with chronic illness. I am few years younger than the main character and have a different chronic illness, but I could still really relate to how she is struggling both mentally and physically while trying to come to terms with her new reality and trying to learn to cope with and manage her symptoms.

It might just be the most chaotic book I’ve ever read. It includes a group chat fillies with chronically ill, gen z people that is both a mess and can be emotional when they talk about their struggles.

You will get Rick rolled if you search the YouTube links. Also poor Spencer was just trying to do his job but ended up being bitten by a werewolf, becoming friends with said werewolf as well as her friend, and covering for her when she turns in the middle of an Olive Garden.

I kept telling myself I was going to rate this book four stars. You know, it had some really great parts, but also a few parts that irritated me, and overall that probably balanced out to four stars, right? 

By the end, I just couldn't bring myself to knock off a full star. Yeah, there were a few bits I didn't like, but that doesn't change the fact that I really LOVED most of this book. Recommended if you have a chronic illness, want to know what it's like to have a chronic illness, or really enjoy friendship stories.

There are a few references to the occult. A number of side characters are lesbian, trans, and various other gender/sexual identities--it's never a main focus of the story.
