Thanks, Kate Callaghan, for the arc! 

 

MS. PERFECTLY FINE by Kate Callaghan was another book I’m sad I sat on because I really enjoyed it, but tbh, I think I read at the perfect time for me when I was having a bad flare-up of my health. I needed to read a story of a girl similar to me struggling through life with her chronic condition and knowing she had people there for her and that it’s okay to let new ones in. Plus, this is just a cute romance with a surprising bit of suspense! 

 

Autumn is written with an excellent chronic pain representation. I really related to her and understood her feelings and insecurities. I felt seen, and I liked that. I appreciated how Elijah was written. Sure, he was a jerk initially, but once he realized she had real issues, he did what he could to adapt and help her. 🥹 (If only the whole world were this way…) 

 

The forced proximity was great. I laughed a lot and loved how they fell into a relationship. And I was super surprised about the suspense! I did not expect it to be that suspenseful, and I felt like I was reading a thriller at some points. It made the book a lot of fun between the romance, comedy, and suspense! 

 

I think this is a fun book for anyone, but I hope whoever reads it gives grace to Autumn and remembers that there are real people like her out there (Hi! It’s me!). I hope that you enjoy this book like I did because it was a lot of fun!
