I've been wanting to read lighthearted sweet romances for awhile now due to the mental funk I'd been in, and finally bought a few, including this one so that I could go on sprint reading them. Chose this one mostly based on the good reviews.

While I enjoyed this novel, it was sweet and romantic, it wasn't exactly fun or lighthearted. It deals with a lot of mental health issues and hereditary terminal illness. In my opinion it was handled well and with care, but it was a heavy read at times.

I enjoyed the romance as well, but it got a little too sacharine for me by the middle and entirely too much by the end. It went from being a cutesy next door romance to being all about soul mates and fate and not being able to live without the other -- when one partner has ASL.

So while it was good, it wasn't entirely what I was in a mood for which I'm afraid soured by reading a bit.
