I started out a bit wary of this book. (I try to avoid very heavy topics, since I mostly read for enjoyment not depression.) It really grabbed my attention though and it didn't have a depressing  feel, a but hopeful one.  Everything seemed to work out so unrealistically well that it removed the threat of being too tragic.  As a matter of fact, I had a hard time accepting parts of the storyline; esp. how she survived at such a young age in the mountains alone and how Abby kept her secret for so long and didn't grow-up, come to her senses and tell her parents about Brinn.  Brinn also converted from wild mountain girl to civilized young lady very quickly.  Even with all of this though, I still really liked the story and there were many times when I didn't want to put it down.  Maybe, I'm not the best judge, because I seem to really like books that work things out unrealistically well and end in happily ever afters.
