Thank you so much to Tokyopop and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC; it is greatly appreciated.

This ended up being a cute one-shot that shows you can work through trauma and still find light in your life. One of the characters, Dani, had a heart attack as a teenager, and needed to have open heart surgery, so she is experiencing the loss of what she thought her life was going to be. Then comes in the shining star of Blanca, who shows her that she can still dream, and that the scars of her past are not ugly.

Since this is a one-shot their romance obviously moves quite quickly, and feels a little insta-love. There is nothing explicit in this manga. There is actually a time skip for the Epilogue, which leaves this story ending on the perfect note. The subject matter could have gone a bit deeper, but I think it works quite well for a younger audience. This really is a cute manga with a good message, and it's as simple as that.
