The romance is important, of course, but where the novel truly shines is in how it handles Delilah and Astrid's sibling dynamic, or lack thereof. It's healing, in a way that's familiar to anyone who's had the unfortunate experience of alienation within family, or been on the receiving end of a controlling parent. Having said that, the romance is nothing to sniff at either. The consequences to the situation are real, and Claire's situation is handled so well. I think the title of this novel does it a disservice in it's simplicity; it's without a doubt worth a read.
