Sure, Carter has to be more careful, but Isaac is not fragile, he has temper, and his moods are actually, part of the trouble Carter is facing when deepening their knowledge. I had the feeling the author wanted to highlight how the love story was ordinary, almost "average", but not in a negative way, on the contrary, to prove that nothing changes even if Isaac is a blind man. The love story is really sweet, for half the novel they barely kiss, and that was right considering Carter is claiming to be old fashioned, and for his sex involves commitment, and Isaac is almost a virgin, his only previous experience being with a schoolmate. Actually the only time it felt a little awkward, like the author highlighted in bright yellow a sentence, was when Mark, Carter's best friend, was involved, but in a way I think the author did it to prove that others could feel discomfort, but not Carter. In this case I think the author found the right balance, for most of the novel, she highlighted the obvious fact that Isaac was blind, but that wasn't the reason why Carter fell for him, and at the same time it wasn't neither a reason for Carter to double think his feelings. Neither is prepared for the complications of falling in love.Elisa_rolle It's always interesting to see how an author deals with a love story involving a character with disability, you can belittle it or overdo. And Gideon’s not prepared for how much he needs Toby. Sunshiny Toby isn’t prepared for a grumpy Gideon or his utterly adorable son, Benson. Gideon isn’t too keen to share his life with a stranger, but his need for help is too great. After all, caring for a sweet baby in a beautiful home owned by a gorgeous single man isn’t exactly terrible.
He needs work and a place to live, and the perfect solution drops in his lap. Toby Barlow is back in Sydney after three years of studying, travelling, and nannying in the UK. He’s overwhelmed and at his breaking point. Overwhelmed, sleep deprived, and unsure how to navigate fatherhood, he’s asked to return to the office. Weeks after adopting his nephew, his boyfriend splits, leaving Gideon a single father to a newborn. Nice house, great job, and a long-time boyfriend.
