This had so much good to it and I'm really conflicted about my rating. On the one hand, I love the setup and how well the two characters bond over the course of the book. On the other, the rampant ableism is unforgivable. The MCs both use slurs and a buttload of other ableist language. The MC refers to herself as not a whole person and completely unworthy of love or friendship. As a disabled person trying to find representation in romance this was a rough read

I couldn’t stop listening, this book was great! This book dealt with all the emotions that come with a life-altering injury like Corey’s so well. It tugged on my heartstrings, and made me laugh as well. Corey is amazing, choosing what is right for her, even if it’s the difficult choice. Her relationship with Hartley is great, and I’m glad she could just tell him how she was feeling, that is was too hard to just be friends. I’m definitely continuing the series!
