Giving this a solid three stars–I just liked it. It definitely gave me the feels a couple of times, but I didn't find it to be a very satisfying romance: There's a love triangle, which I don't normally have a problem with, but add in rape, death via drunk driver, cancer, and more death, and it was just too much angst without development or resolution for my HEA tastes. I guess I just found it to be too realistic and serious for the mood I was in. Shout out for U of Iowa though–go Hawks!
