First and foremost, this is a 3 part series and I highly recommend reading all three parts before reviewing. Ms. Pepper's has done an extrodinary job of keeping everything real and truthfull in regards to relationships and the unexpected reality of disabilities seen and unseen. Patty, Tramp Stamp, Top, Link and the female lead blew the roof off of any other interracial romances and friendships that I have read. You will laugh, cry and get down right angry at times but their is an element of truth that we all can relate to from the time of being in our twenties whether going to college or not. I loved that it was so imperfect as we all are. I learned alot about a disability that I have a working knowledge of from being in the medical field. I can't express how touched and awed I am about how unobservant we can be about those around us in passing on a daily basis. I can say I am definitely more aware of others even if they do not have an outward disability. All deformities are not visible and can only be seen by our true loves heart. It is not a matter of time but being open to the ups and downs of love, friendship and parenting.I really enjoyed all of the story even when I totally disagreed with each of the characters choices. It is a lesson of acceptance and understanding that choices are made in the heat of the moment and the long term consequences can hit and devistate not long after the follow through of decision that cannot be undone. Be open to the experience of learning something about those with physical disabilities, about yourself, and preconceived notions that may be changed for the better.Massive praise for the entire 3 part series. You will fall in love and walk that fine line of love and hate just like we do in real relationships. Be prepared to have your eys opened.
