32 Days in May by Betty Corello is a heartfelt and humorous story with a distinct voice that makes it stand out. The female lead is navigating life with lupus, choosing to keep her health issues private so she can savor moments of being treated like a healthy person—knowing full well she’ll pay for it later.

The male lead? A former TV actor who’s lost his way after years of not acting. Together, their story is equal parts sweet and raw, using humor to gloss over the heavier moments.

Bonus points for its love letter to the Jersey Shore and the NYC metro area!

If you’re into love stories with heart, grit, humor and chronic illness representation, this one’s for you.
