The book I’m trying to recall is about a girl whose name I don’t remember but it was kind of unique I think. She’s being raised by a single father and he develops some kind of brain condition that leaves him bedridden. Then a bunch of his friends come to take care of him. I remember they paint like a whole mural on his wall at one point and I also remember that one of them is a therapist.
