This is my first time reading a book by Shamika Lindsay and I plan to read other books by this author. This is an entertaining and the title was a turning point for me choosing “You Make Me Sick”. Nyla is a small-town girl who is stricken with a mysterious unknown illness. Noah and Nyla meet and he is also sick. Nyla and Noah seem to be making each other sick and they are both fighting to stay alive. Nyla and Noah are working side by side. As long as Nyla is around Noah she is well and when the two are a part Nyla becomes sick again. I so enjoyed the camaraderie between Noah and Nyla. Nyla realizes that she needs Noah in her life to survive. I love reading about workplace romance.

What caused Nyla and Noah’s illness, will there ever be a cure?

I received an ARC via NetGalley and StingRay Publishing and I am leaving my review voluntarily. Thanks for the opportunity NetGalley and StingRay Publishing.

So I loved the idea of this story and was excited to read it, but I felt like it dragged on forever without that much really happening. It really felt like way too much time was spent describing the day to day when Nyla first got sick. Some of the details seemed unnecessary, yet at the same time it felt like there was a lack of depth to the characters.

I got frustrated with the righting as it was very repetitive. I'm not sure how many times the phrase "I couldn't help but..." was uses, but it was on almost every page. I think this story could have been significantly condensed and could use some diversifying of language used.

As always, thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

This was a first time read for me by this author and it definitely won't be my last. The story was interesting and I became engaged from the very start. I liked the writing style and I think the author did a nice job with descriptions and making the story and characters come to life.
Nyla is just trying to adjust to her job and life in the big city, then an unexpected event throws her for a loophole and then Noah enters her life. Nyla and Noah's characters really worked well together and I enjoyed getting to know them. This is a slow-burn romance, so the pacing was a bit slow, but it worked for this story. The story is told through Nyla's POV and I think it would've been nice to hear Noah's as well. Nonetheless, it is a sweet story, full of heart, and I had a really nice time reading it. I hope to read more by this author in the future.

I found this one to be an enjoyable read. The writing and story were something I liked and I think other readers will like this one too.

The concept of this book was very interesting and delivered. I enjoyed the plot, which kept me interested even after I started reading it. The author did a great job of keeping the reader's attention by not revealing too much about Nyla's past at once. I also liked how her relationship with her parents was handled.

The main theme of the book was "moving on." I liked how the author was able to wrap up the story in a way that was both satisfying and surprising. I had no idea how it would end, but the author managed to deliver a good resolution. The writing style of the book was very interesting and delivered a lot of emotion-filled lines. Some of my favorite lines included the descriptions of the scenery and the character's emotions.

A bit of a slow beginning, but i did enjoy this book once the chemistry really turned up. I do recommend this book though there is a bit of a heaviness to it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

If I could give this zero stars I would. The premise is good but the execution is terrible. The main characters had no chemistry and I did not understand the motivation for anything that they did.
