[ summary ]
━━━
Marinette Dupain-Cheng was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia at the age of eleven-an incurable, slowly progressing, genetic disease that will eventually kill her.
Six years later, she still hides her misery, but after crossing paths with a cheeky blonde pianist, it all comes down to two priorities: one, keep her illness a secret, and two, don't fall in love.

This is my very first book. It's cliché and plain ugly, so thanks for showing it love even though it is.
