I appreciate the Jewish & chronic illness representation, but sadly that's where it ends with me.
No chemistry, no spice, the stakes were pretty low and there were a lot of overreactions/miscommunications/this character couldn't really be so dense, could they? moments. I found Jacob's gifts in the second half to be patronizing, and the obsession with a brief childhood romance to be unrealistic. Probably would have DNF-ed if it wasn't a quick read and I was trying to get to my reading goal for the year.
