I received this as an eARC through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Saira, the Indian American equivalent of Dougie Houser, is starting her job as a doctor in the children's cancer ward. Ever since she diagnosed her late best friend's leukemia, Saira was determined to become a doctor and be part of the process to help heal those like her friend. At sixteen, many believe that she hasn't had it as difficult as she should, but Saira is determined to prove that she is just as good a doctor as any of her other cohorts. Of course all of her hard work could be ruined because her mother works in the same hospital and is always desperately late and hover-y, though truly it is because Saira met a cute guy on the ward sparks have started to fly and it turns out he is a patient. While he thinks Saira is a patient too, the truth and his presence may create some serious trouble for Saira.
I thought this was an interesting premise that I wanted to like. I did have difficulty ever liking Saira. Also, the story-line felt like a Grey's Anatomy rework.
