The weird thing with EDS kinda took me out of the book, where he had it and his spine had become so unstable that if he didn’t have surgery he would die. That the surgery was a “cure”. And then the weird remarks the author would make about the character who had muscular dystrophy, acting as if you have to baby disabled people, or you can’t talk to them in a certain way was odd considering this isn’t an old book. The rest of the story was good but I don’t know if I’ll continue after this
