I loved this book. The teen angst other reviewers have mentioned as a negative felt very believable to me from my own teen years and that's without adding "hospital life" onto my own teen girl issues. I hope this book can help others to feel seen and help them consider that maybe it's okay to let people in sometimes. This book took me back to the days of high school crushes and friendship drama that felt insurmountable until someone gave you the right advice to try to fix it. I am excited to read more from this author. 

I was gifted a digital arc of this book from Netgalley. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book and all thoughts and opinions in it are my own and honest. I feel like I should also mention that I went to high school with this author (but no contact in over 15 years) and was overjoyed to hear she wrote a book. When I learned about it I IMMEDIATELY went to Netgalley to request it and support a fellow Spartan.
