What Doesn't Kill You Runs You Over - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Resilience. Challenging stereotypes. Chronic illness. The transforming power of empathy and human connection.

Briar Clark is a skilled event planner who suffers from Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The challenges of a new job come with high stakes and the pressures of being disabled in a world that isn't built for her. Grant Hunt, Briar's dismissive and ableist co-worker, grapples with his own insecurities about being enough. His antagonistic attitude towards people with disabilities-especially Briar-is tested as Briar proves her competence in the face of health concerns, skepticism, and logistical setbacks. Slowly, their working relationship evolves from one of high conflict to one of mutual respect, culminating in an intense romantic attraction that sparks off the page.

Briar's best friend, Liliana, faces her own physical and emotional turmoil as her health is in peril and her marriage is disintegrating. When faced with the choice between giving up and starting over, she must leave her comfort zone and step into freedom. The two women must lean on one another through career changes, heartbreak, and health struggles. Their connection embodies fierce loyalty and the power of female friendships.
