✦ Synopsis

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 inside baking 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 illness as her--juvenille rheumatoid arthritis--and he actually understands Ivy's world. But just because he understands her 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...
