The premise of this book is that Mia (who needs a kidney transplant) marries her best friend so she can remain on her workspace's health insurance when she returns to school.
While the concept makes me furious, no one should have to get married to receive health care; this was a cute book that showed the realities of dating with a disability.
I haven't discussed it a ton on this account, but I am disabled, and I could really relate to Mia's worry that she's a burden. This book was sweet, had a little spice, and was rooted in the love between Mia and Noah. I recommend checking it out if you get the chance.
P.S. I am so excited for the next book in the series, The Roommate Pact. The author teased Clare and Graham so well; I'm dying for their story!!
Noah and Mia have always been best friends, and their friendship is the most important thing to them. Life is going great for Noah and he’s up for a promotion in a job he loves. But Mia’s life is on hold as she awaits a kidney transplant. She’s stuck in a dead-end job and, never wanting to be a burden, has sworn off all romance. So when the chance of a lifetime comes to go back to school and pursue her dream, it’s especially painful to pass up. She can’t quit her job or she’ll lose the medical insurance she so desperately needs.
To support her, Noah suggests they get married—in name only—so she can study full-time and still keep the insurance. It’s a risk to both of them, with jobs, health and hearts on the line, and they’ll need to convince suspicious coworkers and nosy roommates that they’re the real deal. But if they can let go of all the baggage holding them back, they might realize that they would rather be together forever.
