Content warnings: death of a parent, death of a twin sibling.
This is my second time reading this book and it won't be my last. I love Krystle and Ford.
I finished Holding in one day. I loved it! I've been waiting to review it because my migraine disease is flaring and I wanted to write an awesome review. Well sometimes Chronic Illness will not let up. So here is an OK review for an amazing book.
Things I am here for:
Authentic Bipolar representation. End the stigma around mental health.
True love that started as kids.
Finding your way back to each other.
All Black Hockey team! Ownership, Management, Roster!
Iguana children
Snarky hilarious parents
Love is not transactional. And bipolar people deserve to be loved as they are.
This is my sixth book for #23for23
I originally posted this as being for #24for24, but I'm going to switch it to #ReadDisabled2024 prompt for a book where the main character has a mental illness. Krystle’s bipolar disorder is a large part of this story, and it's important to read about.
