Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez

Strong character development and storytelling from different points of view so the reader knows what’s happening in each character’s head and heart even though it’s not communicated to each other. I appreciated that the book deals with social anxiety and kidney donation (the author could have dropped in some facts about the racial inequality of kidney disease and treatment). The book was a good read to get me out of a slump. Easy enough to read on the train or when I was tired and the humor and storyline kept me coming back. That said it felt a little too drawn out and I started losing sympathy for the characters. Especially Briana’s emotional whiplash and Jacob’s behavior felt a bit obsessive and smothering to me at times.
