Fear of Missing Out by Kate McGovern
4.0
This was a difficult one but, I think, important. I chose this because it was coming out and on my want to read list, and the library had it. And then my grandma died, which was horrible and left me reading as much as possible to try to distract myself. As I got towards the end of what I had checked out, this one was left, and I decided to give it a go - giving myself permission from the get go to put it down as soon as it was too hard.
Astrid's struggle to deal with her illness on her own terms, though much younger, was something familiar to what I have just gone through. Her friends and family are struggling, some able to be more supportive than others. Mohit was so mean to her sometimes that I struggled to understand the romance. The vlogging/roadtrip aspect wasn't my favorite, but I stayed interested to see what would happen with the possibility of cryogenics. Overall, I'd recommend this.
