Wow. This book was such an emotional roller coaster and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you love SAD shit, this book delivers. Check the trigger warning because it isn’t for the faint of heart. The story takes place in a hospital and the characters are chronically ill teens who find hope, love, and happiness amongst the ugly parts of their lives. This is written entirely with prose and has a poetic cadence to it. I love the touch of magic realism within & the depth of character development we get. Sometimes the book moved slow and I wasn’t 💯 clear on some details, but these were mostly cleared up by the end. 

LGBTQ+ rep: bisexual main character, m/m side character romance, f/f romance
