Representation: Main character struggles with depression, and a side character is in a wheelchair

Quick Take: An emotionally visceral reverse harem romance that explores the impact secrets have on our relationships and mental health. However, I didn't appreciate how the bullying the Heroine experienced wasn't acknowledged with the seriousness it deserved. One of the Heroes, Heath was, also incredibly frustrating with his self-centeredness.
