In a way, it is what we non-racist people want to achieve. ![]() I felt both good and curious about how the author approached this. Only once does Evan even hint to acknowledging that Ruth is black. This is about an interracial relationship but that is never brought up between the two main characters. Rather than interest at first sight, it would have been nice for Ruth to rub him the wrong way and then they slowly began to understand each other. And the ending was very much goodie-two-shoe and gum drops □□□ In any genre I read I hate instant love at first sight. There is no flare, no dramatic deaths or action scenes. Most of the time you want more bang for your buck, but there isn't anything wrong with an old fashioned plain Jane story every blue moon. As for the story, I found it simple and charming. If you prefer your romance stories messy and complicated then you might not get what your looking for here. If you are here for just a love story then you'll be quite happy. Fast break down: Boy meets girls, flirts with girl, makes girl feel safe and special, girl and boy do the naked tango, and then happily ever after. ![]() But, I can say that it worked out well as I listened to it over Valentine's Day while I finished some boring reports for work. Don't laugh, but I chose this book because I thought the female was going to be a witch □ I only read fantasy novels so I'm not sure how this ended up on my recommendation list. ![]()
