You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO is from Dina, who wants to find this romance. CW for cancer:
I have been searching for this book for weeks.
I tried everything: Reddit, Facebook groups, Google, Goodreads, all my kindle, Amazon history.
I don’t know how, but I read it twice and can’t remember the name.
Only the plot.
I think I read it the first time maybe 3 years ago and it was written around that time, something from the last 10 years maybe.
It was a beautiful, emotional love story, medium spice. Between a young girl that survived cancer, she always wears a beanie to hide her hair loss, she goes to live with her step brother, he runs a skydiving business and she develops a relationship with his friend/partner.
I have a feeling maybe the girl had a unisex name, not sure.
I don’t think it was part of a series, but maybe it was suggested that the brother will have his own story.
The girl had a very hovering mother. When she healed, she wanted to move away and that’s how she got to work as a receptionist at the skydiving place with the brother. I feel like they were half siblings and shared a father.
Towards the end, she feels sick and the mother picks her up, takes her back home. I think that’s when her love interest realizes he loves her and wants them to really be together.
A lot of the story centers around the beanie and the insecurity with her hair.
There is a scene with all of them going to a bar and this another girl is making fun of her.
She was afraid of skydiving, but ended up doing the first one with him.
I think she was an artist.
Does this ring any bells?

Goodreads has a “Cancer in Romance Novels” list with dozens of choices. Didn’t see one that fit right off but I only looked at the first ten or so.
Can’t Have You – by Lilian Monroe seems to hit all the points – description below:
Esme is a tiny and somewhat fragile woman who is trying to finally live life since her fight with cancer for the last 6 years. She has decided to go live with her brother for the summer to work at his business to make some money and get away from home for the first time in her early adult life. What she doesn’t count on is in the very first five minutes of walking into her new work is to meet her brother’s business partner and having a connection and desire she thought she would never find.
As for Finn, the business partner, he can’t believe that just meeting his best friends sister would turn his world upside down, make his blood boil like lava and give him emotions he wasnt ready for.
These two come together in a tumultuous time in Esme’s recovery and her new life. Eventually neither of them can deny the feelings of connection and desire they feel but what about the relationships they have with Kit, Esme’s brother and Finn’s best friend/business partner? Will their newfound love be the end of things between them all?
