Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
The love story broke the boundary of the ordinary and stepped into being one which won't be easy to forget. The characters Lou, Treena, Mrs. Traynor, Mum etc were realistic and you could feel empathy for them.

We never know who in our life will over some type of a transformation. A great, but sad love story.

The premise of a romance where one of the couple is disabled is unusual (to me anyway, there might be many of books of this sub-genre out there, but I'd not come across it before) and I was drawn to it because I thought it would be uplifting, people overcoming difficulties and prejudice to find happiness.

So good! Heartbreaking, heart warming, all the emotions.
