Quite enjoyed this one although a few times it ventured into “just use your words!!!” territory a bit. But it did so with legitimate reasons that were later clarified so it worked in the story. The author does a great job of weaving the story of a loved one in kidney failure in with a sweet romance mixed with past relationship trauma. None of it feels out of place or forced or takes away from the story. 

Both narrators did a good job but I especially liked the way Jacob’s narrator almost personified his anxiety in the way he read the chapters. Definitely added something to the story.
