Isabel has one rule: no dating.
It's easier—
It's safer—
It's better—
—for the other person.
She's got issues. She's got secrets. She's got rheumatoid arthritis.
But then she meets another sick kid.
He's got a chronic illness Isabel's never heard of, something she can't even pronounce. He understands what it means to be sick. He understands her more than her healthy friends. He understands her more than her own father who's a doctor.
He's gorgeous, fun, and foul-mouthed. And totally into her.
Isabel has one rule: no dating.
It's complicated—
It's dangerous—
It's never felt better—
—to consider breaking that rule for him.
My Review:
This book was pretty awesome to read! It's pretty short though a bit slow paced, and between chapters were snippets of her column, of her asking different questions to different people, and it was interesting to see their views! And her romance, yeah, it's different, Sasha is adorable, and Isabel isn't always as likable as he is, which isn't something that I've read a lot of!
This book was a really fantastic look at what it's like, living with being sick with something that probably won't kill you, but makes your quality of life not so good. I really enjoyed who Isabel was, quirks from a broken home and from various issues through her life.
There was this one thing with her imaginary friend that died at the same age that Isabel currently was, so who has died each year, basically, as Isabel grew up. She was mentioned, but it felt a little cut off, like I felt there should've been a transition that happened in the end, and there's stuff about her changing, but nothing quite on her imaginary friend.
I kinda wonder if there's a bit of a metaphor in fulfillment-how she knows there's something wrong but the doctors can't find anything so shrug it off, and we don't find out what it was, the thing with her imaginary friend-and being a representation about how life is like with a chronic illness. I have no idea, I'm not a high literature understanding kinda of girl.
Really enjoyed reading this book, it was a really fantastic read!
