Digging Deep by Jay Hogan
3.0
Correct Title for the Book
I like the premise of a main character with chronic issues, makes them more real as not everything is rainbows and unicorns. Also I’m a RN so points there. But man I really couldn’t stand Drake for most of the book. I feel he was super hard and unfairly rude to Caleb, making snap judgements bc he was hurt and using his diagnosis as a defense. Never had a chronic illness so I really don’t know but it just got old to read. Then I couldn’t stand Caleb. Then I couldn’t stand either of them and their wishy washy, back and forth. Honestly each time the author has them call each other ‘idiot’ or ‘moron’ I thought it was spot on. I found myself shipping large chunks of this book. The triggering part was fine for me, but I work in the medical field and have never suffered that trauma.
