The first half drags quite a bit, and the 2 main leads are touched starved to say the least.
Things took a wild turn when I started reading what I can only describe as a pamphlet on the health benefits of medicinal cannabis presented by a Rabbi.
I also was not expecting Ethan, who has no experience with baking or cannabis or life skills in general, is able to just make homemade edibles? His kindness and willingness to fight alongside our leading lady is heartwarming, but unrealistic.
Avital is where it is at, though. Her depiction of struggling with a chronic illness and how it leaves you feeling alone and empty despite being surrounded with a support structure, and fighting with the medical system just so you can feel like you are in control of yourself pushes this book beyond the typical romance read.
All in all, a solid read. Some sections could have been cut shorter, a lot of the horniness could have been left out, but I walked away with something gained.
