I loved how this book gave information on sickness and made the readers feel something that really isn’t talked about with sick people. The romance between the two were adorable. The only thing I didn’t like about this book is the ending, there could have been a great ending but instead it felt like the author didn’t know what else to write and ended it super quick without thinking.

I truly loved this book, this is the first book I've read with disability representation, and it's a great start. Isabel, a girl who worries about if everything is perfect and worries about others than her problems, falls in love with Sasha, a reckless boy who could give two shits about other people and their opinions.  I love how Sasha helps Isabel escape from herself, Isabel fights with being perfect for most of the book which I can relate to, and Sasha helps her loosen up. Their cute heartwarming relationship is amazing to be, they do have their ups and downs like every relationship but they truly are amazing. I loved this book it had a lot of diversity and representation. The only reason this book isn't 5 stars is that there are some incoherent storylines, for instance, we

hear about how Sasha's dad is dating Isabel's mom, and that Isabel's mom wants Isabel to call her but then that storyline is never really explored

. But overall a great read with tons of representation and filled with heartwarming and happing exchanges between two sick kids in love.
