Finding Gene Kelly by Torie Jean
5.0
FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!
“I look at you how you should be looked at.” He shrugs.” GODDD the man that Liam is.
I came across a tiktok video recommending this book, and I instantly knew I needed to read. I dropped everything and began.
This story was absolutely beautiful. As someone who is struggling with figuring out a diagnosis and going through the struggles of doctors telling me there's nothing wrong or it's all in my head, the amount of connection I had to this story was strong. Some may think Evie is the typical annoying main character because she's always "negative" , but being chronically ill and with all the stereotypes and what not people with endo go through is the reality of it all. It affects every decision you have to make and it's always going to be a topic of conversation. Evie deserves the love that Liam gave her. She needed someone to not pity her but to truly care deeply about her and not view her differently because of her chronic illness. Seeing her journey unfold about rediscovering love and her journey throughout endo was beautiful and inspiring. She is so strong and I'm forever in awe of her.
Torie - Thank you thank you thank you for this book. Words cannot describe how much this book has meant to me and so many other people. I've never seen any representation in books, especially romance books, in regards to endo when in reality it affects so many people. You wrote this book in a way that made us readers feel the highs and lows of Evie's day. Seeing the lowest of lows and the highest of highs is something that needs to be written more in books. I'll stop rambling now but I'm genuinely so grateful for this book and I will now be recommending it to every single one of my friends. I never leave long reviews like this but this book truly impacted me so much, and I hope you know that. Thank you thank you thank you.
