El Amor No Esperara (Love Won’t Wait)

The Love Dilemma by Tracy Corbett is a beautiful novel about love and family. I absolutely adored it. It’s a most delightful rom-com, and would make a fabulous movie.

The two main protagonists put their sibling’s happiness above their own. Their lives have been one long train of sacrificial love. Their bonds with their respective siblings are unbreakable and beautiful to witness.

Life has dealt blows to both leading characters, putting them both off dating. “If I don’t let anyone close, then they can’t hurt me… it’s safer that way.” They have both walled up their hearts, and far from keeping themselves safe, they have imprisoned themselves. They need to take a chance on love and begin to fully live life. “Life isn’t always easy, and sometimes you have to find the courage to stand up for yourself.”

The younger siblings look to their older sibling as a role model. They copy their behaviour patterns as they mirror what they are shown. “You’ll never convince Connor to be brave if you don’t lead by example.”

We see characters trying to conquer their fears. Deep seated trauma has paralysed lives. Love and care will help them to heal.

One sister has cystic fibrosis. It is a debilitating illness. It curtails lives but the sister is determined to grab life and live it while she can.
