A World in Blue

This was such a beautiful and sweet love story. Oliver is quite low on self esteem initially but slowly gains confidence and decides to take a chance on his writing with the help of his half-sister Liv and her father David. Then he meets the cute, shy and nerdy Blue and it's like his whole life changes. Their attraction is instant, the development of their friendship is very tenderly written and it was so obvious to me that they were in love even before they did.

It's a heartwarming tale of self belief, overcoming grief, first love and happily ever afters. The fact that Oliver works in a bookstore and is an author while Blue is a volunteer at the library and a bookworm were just a lovely bonus to my enjoyment. The ending is wonderful and brought a big smile to my face. My only gripe with this book is that it's a short story and I really wish the author writes a full length novel about these characters.
