If I thought I'd like this book so much, I would have read it sooner.
Coming from a big fantasy reader, this book was SO refreshing. The prose was tasteful, and the love story so SANE!! God, it felt so good to read something so fresh and innocent. And yet the subjects depicted were serious but dealt with in a way that felt so healthy.
100% recommend this sweet story to anyone who needs a good palate cleanser between two heavy books or who loves a cute love story.
