What can I say? This is one of the sweetest love stories I have ever read. It is simple ,yet touching, and one of my favorite books of all time. If you have a long afternoon where you would like to curl up with a book or escape the stress of every day life this book would be an excellent choice. It is not complicated or filled with "poetic pharasing" like some books, it is simply heart warming. Each friend I have loaned it to has absolutely loved it.
