The story was unique in the character portrayal. I really liked the two different personalities and the depth of their characters. They each had their own set of unique and challenging problems which aided to make the story more interesting. One thing that caught me off guard was the ending, no spoilers, but it was mature in its delivery yet it still disappointed me. The modern climate of relationships lead to make this decision very mature, yet I wanted the opposite if I'm being brutally honest. Overall, a splendid book with a story that didn't follow a "cookie cutter formula".
