"This book could have been a short story" is now the official "This meeting could have been an email," and I love it. SO MANY BOOKS could have been a short story, a comic strip, something...
I really would like to reach into the 80's and slap this doctor -- after I got sent home from SURGERY in 2019 with amped up Tylenol, I knew why; opioids and now that everyone in American clearly wants to be addicted to something, doctors are "helping" in advance. But, a KID with multiple broken bones and contusions and he prioritizes people NOT HIS PATIENTS over his patient?! I ...don't... get that at all. I don't think Lael Littke quite knows how Doctoring works... UNLESS THE DRESS HAS WINKED SAUCILY AT HIM AS WELL...

I came SO close to just saying THIS BOOK COULD HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL and swanning off into the sunset, hahahaha.
Also, what a plot twist it would be if the DOCTOR stole the dress next, that would be rad.
The dress should totally seduce the doctor!
SO MANY BOOKS could be short stories, indeed. In our house we sometimes comment that a book was 300 pages' worth of story crammed into 600 pages...
Ditto movies! 90 minutes is a great length, so many movies are like 90 minutes of movie in a three-hour bag, sigh.
