From the two books I've read and a third I've sampled, Center's formula seems to be: rare medical conditions, plus family loss and trauma, plus romance with misunderstandings keeping the lovers apart. Oh, and a pet that is adorable but also has issues. I liked the MC in this one, overall, although her reason for concealing her condition was silly (but then, she was also suffering from unhealed and untreated trauma). Really quite some heavy themes for such a light book.

A point of implausibility: how did the MC manage to pay for BRAIN SURGERY and regular neuropsychology consultations when she couldn't even manage rent? Not to mention blood transfusions for her dog. Is this all covered by Medicare?
