A review by alinaborger
Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn

About to graduate from her later-in-life undergraduate program, Greer discovers she’s missing a fine arts requirement—one that her bff’s hot brother can help her address. But love isn’t easy for these two. Greer has dealt with chronic illness her whole life; Alex has dealt with severe anxiety. Greer’s disability makes travel difficult; Alex travels from war zones to refugee camps for his work.

The best part about their love story is that they take the time to really know each other. The trope of “he gets me so much better than people who’ve known me forever” is supported and developed by real conversation and connection. It’s not just magic, it’s also work. And it’s beautiful.

Great mental health rep here, including on-the-page therapy and panic attacks.

FWIW: I’m 100% a Kate Clayborn stan—and I worried that going back to earlier books would kill that vibe. So glad I was wrong.
