This book could've earned 4.5 stars for just for the fibromyalgia representation alone. I have never once felt so seen, and I will be sending this book to friends to help supplement their understanding of what I experience.
It earned a 5 because the characters really are wonderful, the romance is great, and they act quite believably given the backgrounds they both have. I really didn't want the act 3 breakup, and thought for a moment that it might lower my rating, but when it was all said and done I think it was a beautiful illustration of the difference between useless chronic pain, and the types of growing pains that we can't live without.

Graphic: Chronic illness
Moderate: Abandonment, Emotional abuse, and Gaslighting
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders
One character has past trauma that they deal with the repercussions of. It is not currently occuring, and they are safe.
