What a book! Told in two different ways, one part is through Holly's point of view and the other are podcasts by Vivian that she has left that take the reader through her childhood, young adult and adulthood with her disease.

The set up was perfect, I loved how Holly provided the current story, but in her story the reader still saw Vivian as she spent a lot of time seeking advice from her. In the opposite moment, Vivian's podcasts into her history were perfect. It was the best way for the reader to find out more about her and how she ended up in the situation that she currently lived in.
