Discussion Post for It’s All in Your Head by Sabina Nordqvist
[ID: a light purple book cover with large white text outlined in dark pink spelling out “It’s All in Your Head. A blue and black pill replaces the “O” in “Your”. An illustration of a red-haired white woman in compression socks lounges across the text. A white man with a cane and dark hair leans against the other side. A blue snowboard and goggles also leans on the text. The book sits to the right of an illustration of the same characters kissing with the man seated in a black wheelchair. Dark pink fake flowers surrounded the book with loose book pages and book page confetti. Scrabble tales spelling out “book club” sits to the right with two stickers that say, “your fake relationship shouldn’t come with chronic feelings” and “Skylar & Pike.”]
Hi bookish friends! It’s time to discuss the #ChronicallyIconicBookClub’s July read IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD by Sabina Nordqvist, an adult romance with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), chronic pain, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) representation based on the author’s personal experience!
