I found this to be a sweet story with two loveable characters, James and Lorna. The author did a great job of depicting their walk from the past and into the future. I liked the medical detail she included; it made the story feel more real. The plot was predictable, but because of the relationship between the couple, it worked. I simply liked them too much to care. There were some sentences that could have been reworded to avoid using "had been" so much, especially at the very beginning. The story does have sex scenes, but they are tastefully done. Overall, a pleasant read.
