Exactly How It's Supposed to Be by Jodi Niehaus
5.0
OKAY YEP NEW FAVE ROMANCE? This novel was unbelievable. I read it in one sitting, and it was everything. I didnt know what to expect going in, except that it was a romance with a heavy undertone.
I work with patients with dementia in my job, and this novel touched on the disease in such a tender way. I work with these individuals mostly once they are heavily afflicted, and I rarely see the disease in its early stages. It felt so important to have this reminder of life before dementia takes hold fully, and was such an incredible addition to this novel.
This book felt so real to me because of all the times I tried to make a boy love me, before I became strong enough to know that I am worth more than that. I loved every part of Maddie's strength and her big heart, her compassion, and her dedication, and her cool ass job. Jake was troubled in the perfect way, and an amazing book boyfriend.
This was one of the best debut novels I have read in a long time, and if you havent read this one yet then you really really should.
