Althea & Oliver by Cristina Moracho

5.0

I loved this book. At first I couldn't tell if it was realistic or fantasy fiction. However, it is realistic fiction. Althea and Oliver have been friends since childhood. As the two got older, Althea developed romantic feelings for Oliver and Oliver developed a sleeping sickness. Oliver falls asleep for weeks at a time, only waking up in a weird feral state. Oliver is determined to fix his messed up brain and Althea won't be left behind. Can the two learn to stand on their own?

There are some ethical issues that come up within this novel. It isn't something that I would give to a young teen. However, I really like Althea and Oliver. The characters speak to me.
