I found this a really interesting and in places inspiring read, showing the lengths people will go to to help others, even at risk to themselves. I'm a little annoyed that I'll have to buy a whole other book to find out the actual ending!
Entertainingly written and easy to read. It keeps a subtle tone of optimism all the way through, even in the darker moments. I read someone else's review saying what a disservice the title does - I have to sort of agree as the title makes it sound much more of a schmaltzy romance story than it actually is... That being said, I kind of enjoy the idea of it acting as a stopper for people who are snobby about romance novels!

Graphic: Racial slurs
N word used in the last chapter before the epilogue - 'beginning of the end' (p292 in my copy). Not as a direct slur, but to describe a group of people with smoke-blackened skin.
