Such a good time. I live for rep that is encourages you to be balanced, happy, and just in a good place. I’m trying to make a “my person” reading rec list. I think this would make the cut on multiple counts

5 stars from me. I’m going to level with you it might too slow for some. I think this is slower than most slow burns. Heads up.

He fell first. He fell day 1. Just it took him a while to tell her and b for her to see him as more than her rival.

They also share bffs. Cade is Kenneth’s bff from childhood and they’re still roommates in college. Cade is Mal’s bff since the first day of college. He has bff duties with both of them. I read book 2. I’m trying to remember all my Kenneth moments. Read it out of order.

Tell me all your health care needs: blood pressure, sugar, and all the particularities for you to be good finesse.

Ed Edd and Eddie — I would have used that nickname obnoxiously.

The slow burn that this was!! Tempered and careful this is a new fave. It’s mostly quite wholesome. Intentional and calm. Respectfulness and patience all around. It took me 4 weeks to get to read this ( 5 sittings). I like it for the heavy emphasis on acceptance : apology accepted but not needed. That’s the vibe. Copilot is big for these two. Healthy and happy.

It’s been days since I have been able to get a moment to read this. Oh but they’re so adorable and PURE. Like the nicest. Joy in one. This is a very sweet book so far. Nothing overly amorous at all. Insulin pump demonstration. Cheering for your rival. the almost first kiss. just a eye contact scene. slow quiet feelings being realized. I am loving it so hard.

Mannerisms really work. I love Mal so much too. I like her discussions about achievement, planning, and staying busy. Building a full life. Healthy habits. Simple setting but a good fulfilling life. Intellectually rigor. I think good apologies and exits .

never has editing a resume been romance backdrop til today. when it’s done well as it is here. guess it freakin works. this is also he fell first and long ago. they have this little competition the brain bowl. he enjoys it but it’s an excuse for them to hangout. he reminds me a lot of Bo from Out on Limb. He’s just good. Responses they’re just him. it’s wouldn’t be special on anyone else but it is.

I really like them. Eddie and Gray. I like internship means a lot to Gray. I enjoy that he really likes biostats. academic rivals when contextualizes with actual details and incorporate interest naturally. ex/ mal - eddie has diabetes I and he’s asking her about her specific protocol and habits. It’s coming off as interest in sci, management, and it’s prof q but social moment but that’s something he does

sweet pea. Gray being like make sure you don’t ditch Mal like that ever again to Cade. It would benefit him. He wants time with her. But it made her feel terrible. I absolutely love him for this. Mal goodness she’s her guilt for speaking about his privilege. His being lit’s alright. Her being like no it’s not. I’m reading this out of order. Yeah. they’re too GOOD. Niceness is not overrated when it’s done like this.

I love their competitiveness. This is the type of rivalry I enjoy. I finally noticed the titles. Clever. I am really enjoying the diabetes rep. Active insulin and blood sugar monitoring. A metabolic disease. Biostats love him. Ms via Nan. Medical anxiety included in the warning. All the amazing public health rep.
