Ugh. The writing was amazing, the characters were amazing, the story was amazing. I loved the chronic illness representation and this book felt like it should have been so meaningful to me. But there is a scene involving sexual assault that is just basically disregarded throughout the rest of the book. The casual rape culture is something I’m not willing to support, even though I feel like this book had a lot of potential.
