5.0

Representation: Main character with Type 1 diabetes 

Safety Rating: Safe

• No cheating
• No OW/OM drama
- it's been a while for both of them, but the Hero briefly reflects on past hookups (in the vein of how he's never felt this way towards anyone but the Heroine) and the Heroine's past isn't delved into
• Does have the Hero pushing the Heroine away
• Does have a very brief separation (no other partners during this time)


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Heroine decides to pay for her insulin out of pocket (she mostly depends on samples for her doctor), but some reviewers have said this is implausible given how expensive insulin is in the USA without healthcare  
• Misogyny
• Recounting of neglect during childhood


Ending:
HEA with an extended epilogue (married with a kid)! FINALLY
