So when her (also) chronically ill mom and sister cook up a plan to get Ivy out of the house and into a support group, Ivy doesn't expect to say more than a few words. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd she \u003ci\u003ecertainly \u003c\/i\u003edoesn't expect Grant. Grant is CUTE: class-clown cute, perfectly-messy-hair cute, will-always-text-you-back cute. There's an instant connection between them. He has the same illness as her—juvenille rheumatoid arthritis—and he actually \u003ci\u003eunderstands\u003c\/i\u003e Ivy's world. But just because he understands her pain doesn't mean he can take it away, and she wishes he could... because it's getting worse. Ivy has always tried her best to seem \"normal,\" but between symptom management, new treatment plans, and struggling with medical self-advocacy, being sick feels more and more difficult. With her energy plummeting, even her bestie starts drifting away! What if Grant does, too? Will Ivy's sugar-sweet romance pan out? Can she maintain her façade, for him and for the world. . . or should she be brave and let it drop?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarissa Eller serves up a sweet, satisfying romcom that tackles the realities of chronic illness—and coming-of-age milestones from friend breakups to first kisses—with wry humor, tons of heart, and a huge helping of honesty. Nuanced, funny, and deeply enjoyable, readers will fall for Eller's voice in this compelling debut that offers all the right ingredients.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 August 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 209 mm; Width 143 mm; Thickness 24 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holiday House Inc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780823463701\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Marissa Eller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50207357632762,"sku":"9780823463701","price":10.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9780823463701.jpg?v=1788224792","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/joined-at-the-joints-9780823463701","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
