But yes, that cover is wonderful ^.^<br />I think that the romance is a lot of it because it's about Jasmine being open to having someone else with epilepsy in her life as well, and how that might be hard for her. But there is a lot more to it than the romance as well.

I did that for a tag, too *laughs*- it’s a neat idea, and a nice representation of the cover.<br />I heard about this book a little while ago, but honestly I don’t think it’s for me. I’m not a huge fan of romance taking over other elements of the plot, and it does sound like that tends towards happening here, but I’m glad it had important aspects about mental health, too. Not necessarily for me, but I’m happy it’s out there- and was a good read for you. xxRomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506760687610055112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-50040786659495274102015-10-04T16:50:48.542+02:002015-10-04T16:50:48.542+02:00OH NO!

I had no idea what the book was about and now I really miss having the chance to have got a signed copy of it!<br /><br />Being a nurse I know quite a bit about epilepsy, and also I had a form of infatile epilepsy myself that was treated and resolved when I was a child. One of my co-workers is epileptic and her seizures are usually the absent kind, but she still manages to have a fully fantastic life, her only real limitation is not driving.<br /><br />Fantastic review Olivia and thank you for the giveaway!!Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235628363081574896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-26494746681792083412015-10-04T08:12:31.003+02:002015-10-04T08:12:31.003+02:00I am so glad to know everyone seems to be loving i...I am so glad to know everyone seems to be loving it!

I am really sorry to hear that the seizures haven't been able to ease up on her :( And as for your sister - yes I do know this. I guess sometimes things can be misjudged and medical mistakes can be made. I am still praying for her to be feeling better at this current moment, and I am sure this is a novel you can relate to a lot in that case.
