Ehlers Danlos Syndrome superhero?! Say less! 

Kori is a kind rule follower and an introverted stargazer - who constantly finds herself clashing with her sister Kira. Kira is popular, she’s dating lazy and hot and kinda manipulative Tate Fairweather, and she won’t listen to anything Kori has to say about it.

When both sisters join a clinical trial to advance treatments for EDS, they each learn that the other is developing strange powers … and the Tate’s uncle’s pharmaceutical company might have more going on behind the scenes.

It’s a simple storyline. I loved the artwork and I loved Kori’s characterization, though it was hard not to feel frustrated and angry by the supporting antagonists, including her sister. 

Would definitely recommend for young readers & I always appreciate great chronic illness rep!
