It's not a spoiler to say the title is a play on words for "Sleeping Beauty." I love the way this author takes our childhood fairy tale romances and rewrites them for our modern day.This reworking starts with Phillip attending a Christmas Eve dinner at his brother's girlfriend's house. There he learns her sister, Rose, is in a coma from a car accident a year earlier. Over the following months Phillip begins a "relationship" with the comatose Rose. We spend our time wondering if Rose will ever come out of the coma. If she does, will Phillip be able to take their "relationship" from the ethereal to real?The story gives a real tug on our heart as we hope for the best for these two. We want Phillip and Rose's love to blossom, but the obstacles look insurmountable.If you like sweet "fairy tale" romances, this is definitely for you.
