What's MDD? Im trying to remember the disability in that book and I can't aha. Also love theoretically is disability because she's diabetic 😊

1

Oh yeah I totally forgot that's she's diabetic, but I mean her thought process really suggests that she's ND she's literally masking 24/7 And MDD is major depressive disorder

Haha I pick up on it because I love seeing representation but its such a natural part of the book you could miss it. Ohhhhhh! I dont usually see it written out like that so could not work out what it was!!!

Totally agree it's so subtle and deeply ingrained that I actually missed it but after someone pointed it out to me I did a reread and couldn't unsee it
