Sick Kids in Love is OwnVoices. ☺️
Did I NOT include this one 👀 I meant to 😖
I didn't know what OwnVoices meant so had to google that up and good to know :) This rec wouldn't fit under the category of fiction, but gonna put it out there incase anyone's interested. A Face for Picasso by Ariel Henley is the author's memoir about her experience with Crouzon's syndrome. The book is quite good so do check it out!
I intend to also make a nonfiction list by disabled authors, so thank you for including this here!!
Have you seen Fight + Flight by Jules Machias? It's a great middle grade with a girl navigating being diagnosed with hEDS and a potential romance with a girl with GAD and conservative parents
I have! I forgot to add that one, but I'm adding it now, thanks for the reminder! I haven't read that one yet, but it's on my TBR
kinda random but i realized you have maybe the biggest overlap % ive seen since joining here (31). You got taste /hj
