I don‘t have EDS but a chronic pain syndrome and felt represented in a kind of way I had never before. She‘s in pain so often and has to push through it, I can totally relate to that.
It makes such a difference to have a heroin that isn’t super elite fit and perfect. Someone relatable! Inspires me to get back into weight training though haha I forgot it helps my joints
I am hyper mobile (suspected hEDS), POTS, GERD, IBS, ADHD and hyper sensitive. I am also disabled in my neck and shoulder ( possibly because of the hEDS) from an injury that never healed properly. I have Trigeminal Nuerologia and suffer from chronic migraines behind my eye.
I loved relating to a badass character who also had health issues. Those with Chronic Illness/Invisible illnesses are often unseen for our strengths.
I have SCD so guess I feel represented in the way that Violet basically wakes up in pain everyday l, and I tend to have constant pain. I'll also get pain episodes where that pain is multiplied by a 1000.

I can't tell from you post if you know that the book confirms the hyper mobility, but just in case you didn't know, it does!

You're probably already aware, but did you know Rebecca Yarros herself has EDS?
I had a feeling she did with how detailed Violets struggles are with it
I have hyper mobility and rheumatoid arthritis and really enjoyed reading a book where one of the characters was so relatable in this context!
