the cure, m.celebrini

~libby toffoli has spent most of her life being watched.

watched by doctors, teachers, nutritionists, and strangers trying to figure out why she never seems hungry. born with a rare condition that leaves her without the feeling of hunger, libby grew up in and out of hospitals and treatment centers while the rest of the world assumed they already understood her story.

by eighteen, she's exhausted of being "the sick girl."

so when she moves to san jose to live with her older brother, tyler toffoli, she decides this is her chance to start over. new city, new people, new life. no treatment center schedules. no school counselors watching her every move. just hockey, ocean air, and the freedom to finally figure out who she is outside of her illness.

then she meets macklin celebrini.

quietly intense, frustratingly observant, and impossible to ignore, mack sees through her faster than anyone ever has - and that terrifies her more than it should. because liking someone means letting them close enough to leave. and libby already knows how these stories end.

but between late nights, growing feelings, and a future she's never allowed herself to imagine, libby starts to wonder if surviving is the same thing as living.

and for the first time in her life, she might actually want more.
