This is a wonderful book! It follows the story of a teen experiencing unknown medical issues while navigating school and the worries of being a teenager . I love how it shares the importance of self-advocacy, communication, friendship, and compassion, all while being filled with excitement, drama, emotion and suspense that makes you want to read more.

this book shows how fantastic disabled and chronic illness fiction can be.
thank you so very much to netgalley, author shannon stocker, narrator kate rudd, and blink publishers for the audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review.
as someone who is chronically ill and disabled this book was so REAL. twyla’s journey to answers, is very relatable.
marker spoiler for the gastroparesis but i was wondering the whole time because my mom has it. i liked seeing the relationship with wolfie, my son is wolfies age and i thought it was cute how they interacted as siblings and how they processed the story.

This was one of the most beautiful books I have read in a long time. While it’s marketed at YA, I think anyone could enjoy this book, and I think it would have a particular market amongst parents.

The writing was beautiful, but it was the story itself that had so much heart, with the MC Twyla wonderfully fleshed out and incredibly authentic as a teen character. I also thought Twyla’s search for answers and attachment to certain solutions (whether true or not) was so realistic. There was also much grace in the representation of illness and grief, and an important message about validation and self advocacy.

I feel quite emotional after reading, so I know that this book was a high ranking one for me.
