I really enjoyed this book. I thought that it seemed pretty predictable and some of it was but I enjoyed how everything came together at the end. Very smooth read and I remained interested right from the start. I thought the characters were 3 dimensional and I loved that we saw the relationship between Ruthie and Stephan grow and develop over time.I read this book in 6 hours. All I can say is WOW! I highly recommend this book, its one of the best I've read in a long time. I picked it up because I can relate to the main characters and their interracial relationship, families that aren't exactly accepting, and the negativity that goes along with it in certain places. This book is so much more than that! I fell in love with the characters from the start, this book sent me through a roller coaster of emotions. A few times I stopped reading

Eventually they realize they have fallen in love and want to spend their lives together. The
I did not expect to love this story so much, but it grabbed me from the very beginning. Yes the story deals with some very uncomfortable sexual themes that many have problems with, but these are themes that are real and true to the time period regardless of how people feel about it.I wish the story had had a different ending but find that this ending happened more times in the south at that time period than people are willing to admit.
Loved this one. Most of the characters were believable. The ending was not exactly predictable, but, that's what made it so great. Great read!
Wow! I literally read this short story from start to finish without moving a muscle! It quickly captured me and held me right to the very end.
I just finished this book. All I can say is OMG regarding the Ending!!!!
