Exes and O's by Amy Lea

The fact that the book starts off with a Taylor quote.

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez

The snark. Is just. My favorite.
Also the commentary on how communities that are rural and less-populated tend to have less access to affordable medical care and just suck it up and muddle through.
