5.0
This. Book. WOW. What an incredible representation of chronic illness. Violet was so genuine and kind and gentle--she didn't want to be an inconvenience to anyone, so she continued to downplay symptoms of her illness and withhold help those around her were eager to give. She was such an empathetic character, and I hope this book makes rounds in middle schools. There are so many important lessons here. Her friendships were so good, too, with how that all worked out. Just. AH. Also the writing? *chefs kiss* I LOVED all the descriptions. And Violet's internal monologue was so relatable. And all the characters?? I want more of them! (Will is my fav tho)
All in all, an amazing book that I highly recommend. (I was already recommending it to my sister before I'd even finished!)
