This is a pretty good book.
One of the best examples of true love tested by circumstance. It managed to avoid the formula reasons from romances for tearing true love apart while making the circumstances feel totally believable and relatively unavoidable. There were some villains, and their actions affected the love story at the center, but the only villainous attempt to pry the lovers apart was pathetic and cemented them together. It was a good story with love truly triumphing at the end, but a lot of life getting in the way in the meantime. Realistic enough to make you believe that love can triumph over the worst adversity for real.
