When baking-obsessed Ivy meets a 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. So when her (also) chronically ill mom and sister cook up a plan to get Ivy out of the house and into a support group, Ivy doesn't expect to say more than a few words.
And she certainly doesn't expect Grant. Grant is CUTE: class-clown cute, perfectly-messy-hair cute, will-always-text-you-back cute. There's an instant connection between them. He has the same diagnosis as her--juvenille rheumatoid arthritis--and he actually understands Ivy's world.
But just because he understands Ivy's pain doesn't mean he can take it away. And she wishes he could-because it's getting worse. 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. Will Ivy's delicious new romance pan out? Can she keep up the façade, for him and for the world… 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. Nuanced, poignant, and deeply enjoyable, readers will fall for Eller's voice in this compelling debut that offers all the right ingredients.
"A sweet and affirming story that embraces the unpredictability of chronic illness."-Anna Sortino, award-winning author of Give Me a Sign and On the Bright Side
"Will make readers feel seen. A delightful, heartfelt read."-Lillie Lainoff, award-winning author of One for All
"The perfect recipe for an affirming and adorable debut."-Claire Forrest, award-winning author of Where You See Yourself

Autoren-Porträt von Marissa Eller
Marissa Eller is a novelist with chronic pain and an abundance of emotions. She holds a BA in English from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and an MFA in Writing from Lindenwood University, which she uses in her work as an academic consultant. She resides in Hickory, North Carolina with her family and two rescue cats, all of whom she couldn't love more if she tried. When not writing, reading, or helping students, she can be found thinking entirely too much about her favorite TV shows, obsessing over a band she's loved since she was fifteen, or enjoying an afternoon nap.
