Description
Ivy's life has been defined by her baking and her illness. As a 17-year-old with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, she's learned to cope with her symptoms in her own way. But when her mom and sister encourage her to join a support group, Ivy is forced out of her comfort zone. There, she meets Grant - a boy who shares her diagnosis and understands her world in a way that few others do. Their connection is instant, but Ivy's not sure if it can last. As her illness worsens, she struggles to maintain her façade and navigate the complexities of relationships. This debut novel tackles the realities of chronic illness and coming-of-age milestones with wry humor, heart, and honesty. It's a nuanced and enjoyable read that offers a fresh perspective on love, friendship, and growing up.
