it was a decent book! i was very nervous to pick up this book because so often, books about chronically and/or terminally ill characters are infantilizing and inaccurate and just feel...gross. thankfully, i didn't feel that too much with this book. 
stuart, however, felt like that to me, he just seemed like he stuck around out of pity,
her romance with cooper felt a bit rushed
and it was weird going from a journal to her future self to first-person.
otherwise, this book was good! the characters were likeable and i thought the entries during her episodes were very raw and real
