3.5 stars, rounding up. 
 I have complicated feelings about this book. What I loved about it was the way it shows access intimacy and interdependence between Corey and Hartley. I have not read many novels that show the way those things can grow between disabled folks, and those moments were by far my favorite moments in the book. I had a really hard time with the intensity and rawness of internalized ableism the characters had, especially Corey's, and the ways it intertwined with her internalized misogyny. It was painful to read so much of that, hurt my heart, and almost made me put down the book a few chapters in. It would have been easier to hold it if there were more textual tension and criticism of it. I also really liked the ways Corey reclaimed herself and her needs after coming home from winter break. It felt real and beautiful and exactly what the story needed and made me glad I stuck with the book.
