I was really loving this, but the ending wasn’t my favourite. However, Miranda and this story will stick with me for the rest of my life. As someone who deals with chronic pain and chronic illness, this book really left a mark on me. I also don’t think I’ve ever experienced the simultaneous delight and hatred for characters like I did while reading this. What a story.
