When baking-obsessed Ivy meets a super-hot boy who shares her rare diagnosis, sparks fly outside of the kitchen for the first time in her life! Chronically ill seventeen-year-old Ivy has stayed in watching the Food Network all summer--pies are better than people, and they don\'t trigger her social anxiety.
Nuanced, poignant, and deeply enjoyable, readers will fall for Eller\'s voice in this compelling debut that offers all the right ingredients.. or should she be brave and let it go? Marissa Eller serves up a sweet, satisfying romcom that tackles the realities of chronic illness--and coming-of-age milestones from friend breakups to first kisses--with wry humor, tons of heart, and a huge helping of honesty.
Will Ivy\'s delicious new romance pan out? Can she keep up the façade, for him and for the world...
Ivy has always tried her best to appear pain-free, but between treatment plans, symptom management, and struggling with medical self-advocacy, being sick feels more and more difficult.
And she wishes he could--because it\'s getting worse.
But just because he understands Ivy\'s pain doesn\'t mean he can take it away.
He has the same diagnosis as her--juvenille rheumatoid arthritis--and he actually understands Ivy\'s world.
There\'s an instant connection between them.
