I devoured this book. I literally could not put it down which is high praise. As someone who had adhd, it takes me longer to read a book because I’m often distracted. 

I appreciate the author for delving into topics where representation of those topics are deeply important. From chronic/autoimmune issues to mental health. Her own person experience shines through as she rawly writes the reality of these issues. While I can’t personally relate to an autoimmune disease, I can relate to an anxiety and how she write about social anxiety and the thoughts and spirals a person has when exposed to certain situations is so spot on. It’s often hard to explain what that’s like but Abby explains it so beautifully. 

This story was absolutely beautiful. my only tiny complaint is the extra long miss communication. Just as you think it’s been solved, it continues to extend. But I also understand the reasoning in the end.
