This is the first YA romance I've met where the obvious high intelligence of the main characters is a major factor. They're not nerdy so much as they're dedicated. Their emotional involvement and development has stuttered at times, but they're turning out beautifully. They've managed to impress professors at college even before they've been admitted. They're concerned with family and doing the right things by them. They're just so stinkin' admirable, and I love it.
