I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This is a strong own voices debut, and it's refreshing to read something set in the medical field written by someone who has practical experience and knows what they're talking about. I appreciated the footnotes as Angie explains what she's going through in her medical school process, and I found her own journey of self-acceptance more compelling than the romance between her and Ricky. The two of them have great chemistry, but their relationship timeline is fraught with angst--if, like me, petty communication issues are your pet peeve, this may not be the book for you.
