![]() ![]() ![]() I have to give this four stars because it had some deeper levels than I expected, and I was touched by the love that Leila and Rafael shared. It gave me something to think about, although I feel that she just scratched the surface of this issue with this book. *Although I lack any personal experience with anorexia, I feel that the author's choice to feature a heroine who battled this disease adds depth to her characterization. ![]() In the end, they realize that their love is stronger than any fears and shortcomings that might temporarily interfere in their bond. They had a mutual commitment, and it was merely a matter of fear (of rejection or not measuring up) that made them seem disconnected from each other. They have to make sacrifices for the well-being of their counterpart. *Both Leila and Rafael show what a married couple needs to do. I saw two people who were committed to stay together and truly did love each other, and that made this a touching and emotional read for me. They are just going through growing pains, and they need to spend time on their marriage when their careers had come between them for far too long. The problem in their marriage is not a lack of love. *Even though I don't normally reach for a romance with a couple who's been married this long, it was kind of refreshing. However, this couple did have some issues to work through to keep their marriage on track, and to resolve pain from their unhappy childhoods. I saw that the main characters had been married already for five years, and I was prepared to read a book full of marital strife. ![]()
