Annie is starting college. She can't wait. No more school, no more uniform, and no one telling her what to do. It's the start of a new adventure and Annie's not going to let anyone or anything get in the way of that. Freedom matters to Annie. She has cerebral palsy and she's had to fight hard to get the world to see her for who she truly is. Then she meets Fab.

The moment Fab sees Annie, he's wildly drawn to her and declares she must be his girl. Annie's horrified. She doesn't want to be anyone's anything, especially if it means losing her independence. But then Annie finds herself falling for Fab. As things go deeply wrong, Annie realises that love can make you do wild, crazy things, and so she sets out to win his heart with a romantic gesture of truly epic proportions!… (more)

"Truly, Wildly, Deeply" was recommended to me by a Year 7 girl, and I can understand why she enjoyed it so much. It was a sweet, fluffy and humorous read with endearing characters. Although the protagonists were supposed to be sixteen or older, to me they felt much young. However, they were all wholesome and relatable, especially Annie and Fab.

I liked that Annie was an independent young lady who refused to be defined by her cerebral palsy and Fab reminded me of an exuberant puppy, but I didn't like how he behaved later in the book. However, the banter and friendship between Fab and Annie was great but I think the author should have left the romance out. It didn't gel.

Other positives included all the "Wuthering Heights" references; Fab's big, welcoming, Polish family; Annie's new friend, Hilary, and Annie's mother and her relationship with her daughter. Overall, I can see "Truly, Wildly, Deeply" being a popular novel with teenage girls (
