This book was in a way so accurate to how medical school is, and also about how anxiety can cripple students. And so through the lens of Harper, our protagonist, I analyse my experience in medical school with anxiety, other people around me and just how important it is to be curious and not judgemental when it comes to people. It’s important to understand that everyone had their own honey mushroom (you’ll get the context of that in the episode).
Goodreads Summary:
Harper is anxiously awaiting placement into a top oral surgery residency program when she crashes (literally) into Dan. Harper would rather endure a Novocaine-free root canal than face any distractions, even one this adorable.
A first-year dental student with a family legacy to contend with, Dan doesn’t have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does. Though he finds himself falling for her, he is willing to play by Harper’s rules.
So with the greatest of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs, the two set out to be “just friends.” But as they get to know each other better, Harper fears that trading fillings for feelings may make her lose control and can't risk her carefully ordered life coming undone, no matter how drool-worthy Dan is.
Blood, gore, and extra-long roots? No problem. The idea of falling in love? Torture.
