Before this, I had read one of Amy Lane's books. It was cute, fun and adorable. This could almost have been written by a different author. It was equally well written, but it wasn't cute of fun. This book had me in tears on a number of occasions over Anderson and CJ both. Anderson's issues didn't occur in a day and were certainly not cured in a day. There were enough light moments to keep the book from being overwhelmingly sad and I loved this book.
