The accident was not his fault - it was just a weird twist of fate.

I loved this book, highly recommended.
This book has been lauded all over the blogosphere for months now. I’ve kept a for-review copy on my shelf but I haven’t opened it; I’ve been burned before by books that have been overhyped.
Happily I can say that didn’t happen this time. Happily I can say that this is a story I’d recommend to others for both the quality of the writing, the thoughtfulness of the story, and the depth of the characters.
So I say: Give this book a read. See what you think.

Yes, this is categorized as a "romance" novel and I gave it 5 stars. Thoroughly enjoyable read with a touching ending.
