There are some moments of ableism, but they are probably realistic thoughts that a person in the FMC’s position would think and feel. Overall, I loved their foundation of friendship and that they had strong friendships outside of each other as well.
The infidelity mentioned in my content warning section is not one of the MCs cheating on the other.

I really love how the disability and struggles of the main character are described -- that's the best part of this book. You really feel for Corey and wish her the best, because she deserves it. However, the romance between the two main characters felt somewhat forced. I thought they spent way too little quality time with each other to fall so head over heels in love. The conversations weren't very deep, they mostly focused on their shared disability and I suppose it's great that they connected on that, but it still seemed flat. I wish the author spent more time describing Hartley's POV, because I didn't really relate to him all that much.
