The story is okay: entertaining floof that makes it easy to listen. The plot isn't as dramatic as the blurb makes it seem, though, which is a disappointment. All the elements are present, but they don't seem very impactful as the romance takes the forefront fast and everything else becomes just background nuances for it. I found myself not very invested in this story.
The book deserves a mention for great representation of chronic pain caused by a genetic condition, though: the FMC has hypermobility that she always needs to take into account for, but who still manages to live quite a normal and fullfilling life surrounded by people and things that bring her joy. Visibility of minorities, such as people with chronic illness, always deserve more chances to get seen and understood.
