Overall the story isn't unusual... love between two individuals who on the outside seemed to be destined for gloom and misery. There were bits and parts that were beautifully written which at times took me into the story but it was just moments instead of being on the whole journey. It's not bad... it just isn't great.

Hübsch geschrieben, die Charakterkonstellation hat mir auch gut gefallen. Das Ende war etwas zu kitschig für meinen Geschmack, aber insgesamt eine wunderbare Geschichte!
