The story was engaging and completely eye-opening. I laughed, I got verbally annoyed and upset throughout the novel. I feel like I learned so much about disabilities, and I adored Lou's character development. However, it's a slow burn that I thought had small (yet very adorable) moments and was suddenly defined as love. It makes sense within the storyline, but I found it hard to connect emotionally with the characters. Also found the chapters were too long. Despite that, I enjoyed this, and it's a beautiful yet illuminating story.

This is a really sweet but sad story. It moved slowly and took longer than it should have to finish. I would recommend it, though, but you have to be in the right frame of mind. The bulk of the story isn’t too sad but you feel like something terrible is lurking just around the corner.
