To me, this is the best part about this book: it's real. Reena and Sawyer are messy, messed up, complicated characters. Their love is messy, complicated, and messed up -- both times. And both times, there is not necessarily a "happily ever after." There is, "this is what I chose, this is what life gave me, and this is what I'm doing with it." It's a very, very real book, and I very, very much appreciate that. It doesn't say to you, "Fall in love with a perfect man and you'll both be perfect and life will be perfect because of your love!" It is not a fairy tale. It is a real love story, and that to me makes it just as inspirational -- if not more so -- than a typical fairy tale. 
 How to Love comes out in October, and I cannot recommend it more highly. Pre-order it now, or be sure to run out and get it as soon as you can!
