The story of Jubilee Jenkins is one that I will undoubtedly recommend to those wanting a love story that seems set against all odds, yet somehow overcomes all its trials and tribulations. From dealing with an unheard-of allergy which isolates Jubilee from the rest of the world, to coming to terms with the death of her estranged mother, Colleen Oakley takes the reader on Jubilee's emotional journey of growth and acceptance so that we truly understand just how important it is for her to open her arms to the world, both literally and symbolically.
The unexpected romance that blossoms between Jubilee and Eric is both heartwarming and heartbreaking; combined with the truly extraordinary connection between Jubilee and Eric's grieving step-son, Aja, which only comes with a deep understanding of loneliness and grief, I turned each page praying that each character could deal with their personal situations and come to support and protect each other. Overall, the developing relationship between Jubilee and Eric shows that the beauty of love is not in its ease or simplicity, but in its strength and endurance.
I am so proud of Jubilee and how far she has come!
