I loved this book! The story is so real and relatable (even if I have never had such diagnosis myself), and the narrator’s voice is able to transport the reader into what Juliet is going through. Would definitely recommend; I have read the Italian translation but somehow wished I had read it in the original language - although the Italian cover and design is overall amazing!
