I swear the blurb for this read that she risked her career to get her crush into the trial study. That's incorrect. I kept thinking about the mix up while reading. Thankfully, I see the current blurb is clearer and not misleading. Hazard of reading review copies early.

-Super cute
-Funny
-Sweet
-Social media manager BFF
-Big sister in college
-Trouble with driving
-She's a beard, which gets complicated when she meets someone she actually likes.
-Typical teen romance in extraordinary situation
-Main couple doesn't get to spend much time together on the page during the story
-Teens are teens, even the Genius
-Relatable and fully of empathy
-Love the push/pull between dreams and growing up too fast and evolving friendships
-Big family with big drama
-All the patients and their family are different and full characters, not just swappable background NPCs.
-Love how the work nemesis was happened and gives space for those that don't cope well.
-Ending is an open satisfying HEAFN.
