Crystal is one of those authors that keeps healing that little teen heart of mine one line at a time. Her words, stories, characters and growth in the characters always just hit me in the best way and I cry in connection and happiness to see this kind of representation exist in the world.

Whit, loves everything fall. She had a rough summer and was newly diagnosed with PCOS before her senior year of high school and she is dealing with the changes to her body that come with the disorder. We see her struggle with the extra weight, hair, moods, fatigue and pain.

Whit also realizes that her relationship with her long distance boyfriend is coming to an end and the relationship she has with her younger sister is changing as her baby sister wants space to grow. We see friendship tested as Whit tries to keep her disorder a secret. A new relationship blossom with the boy who turned nemesis and so much more.

I related to the challenges of feeling the changes in your body when diagnosis of illnesses happen. The betrayal and frustrations that happen with it. The anxiety, the desire to hide and act like nothing is wrong or embarrassed due to a ableist society that doesn't understand any disability.
