“Like the system that keeps girls so worried about their appearances that they don’t use their brain power to take over the world.” I have never read The Yellow Wallpaper so I had no idea that was a factor in this story. I enjoyed this one! I loved the chronic illness rep, and I think we should see it more in books, especially in MG and YA. I enjoyed the characters in this, I just wanted Violet to get the answers she was looking for. I loved how Will and her family supported Violet in finding out what was going on with her, and how they fought for her to get answers. Will was a great character, and I loved his friendship with Violet. I thought the horror in this could have been more. I had a gothic undertone, but I still think it could have packed more of a punch.

Vibes Athlete Hero (Hockey) Forced Proximity Teacher Heroine (Dance-Ballet, Tap, Jazz) Friends to Lovers Boss/Employee 9.71/10 What worked for Me Characters-10 I just loved the characters in this! I was not expecting to fall for this audiobook as much as I did. I feel Aurora's "not like the other girls" personality will be a turn-off for some readers, but I found her so charming, and she's definitely someone I could see myself being friends with. I loved Mike as well, and the journey that he and Oliva went on. Rory was healing throughout this book, and I loved this journey for her. The characters had lighter scenes, but also some very more intense scenes. Writing-10 I loved that this was a duet! I knew that there were two narrators, but the fact that both narrators appeared in every chapter, and said their dialogue was the best. The writing style was both light and fun, and also very intense at the times it needed to be. Plot-9 Canadian Boyfriend had such a fun story! I loved the smaller moments in this story as well as the larger ones that brought Rory and Mike closer together. This was a story about moving on and recovery just as much as it was about romance. Romance-10 Speaking of the romance, the romance in this was great. I loved all the tropes in this book, and I thought the forced proximity and boss/employee was a very fun element. Mike and Rory were so sweet and they were so cute together.
