*A copy has been given to me by the author for an honest review*What a breath of fresh air was this book. So different from most of the others I've read.I loved the development of Tessa's and Morick's relationship. The fact that it wasn't insta love made me so glad. I am stuffed full of the insta love. Come on. Nothing is that easy. You have to work for it.I don't believe I've read another book where the characters worked so much for it.The plot was just enough to give a rush but not to overwhelm. I felt that this book was mostly about acceptance and hope and not drama. Of course, there was drama but it wasn't overdone. For which I am so grateful.Beatriz is such a wonderful friend to have. I think that every girl should have a friend like her. She was loyal, and funny, and smart, the best for our Tess. I even loved Brad who was a very nice side character and brought more depth to the story.I am so so so so so happy that there weren't any love triangles or rectangles. I am sick of that. But I was also amused by the slight jealousy from Morik. He was so CUTE.All the gestures, the small touches, the handmade gifts. All was a welcome reprieve.I enjoyed reading this book so much and I recommend it for whoever wants to read something not disturbing for a change :)It is a easy and fun read.Thank you Ms. Haag, you're awesome!
