The characters in this novel are beautifully written and are the main reason I gave it such a high rating. Chloe, our protagonist, is one of the most dynamic and interesting characters I have ever come across while reading contemporary fiction. She suffers from both physical and mental pain daily and has trouble making and keeping friends because of her disabilities. Her love interest, Red, reminds me a lot of my boyfriend. He is caring, patient, and understanding of Chloe’s limits. I have never read a love story before that was quite like this one. Yes, there’s love, sex, and adoration, but there is also a story line of mutual respect and understanding that the characters display. It is important to have this type of representation in modern writing and I am glad to have had the opportunity to come across this book.
