It is a great, inspiring, relatable book if you struggle with chronic illness. I am few years younger than the main character and have a different chronic illness, but I could still really relate to how she is struggling both mentally and physically while trying to come to terms with her new reality and trying to learn to cope with and manage her symptoms.

It might just be the most chaotic book I’ve ever read. It includes a group chat fillies with chronically ill, gen z people that is both a mess and can be emotional when they talk about their struggles.

You will get Rick rolled if you search the YouTube links. Also poor Spencer was just trying to do his job but ended up being bitten by a werewolf, becoming friends with said werewolf as well as her friend, and covering for her when she turns in the middle of an Olive Garden.
