Melanie, a fiery young woman, meets Allen when she saves him from being beaten up because he is gay. The two of them form a strong friendship. Melanie is deeply in love with Allen, although she knows that Allen will never be able to love her that way. The two also begin working together because Allen is a wealthy fashion designer, and Melanie has an eye for fashion. However, when Allen is diagnosed with ALS, a degenerative disease with no cure, both of their lives change. Love All the Way by Aurora Carafa tells the story of love and loss and shows that unconventional love is still love.

I enjoyed the excellent characterization in this book. As Allen comes to an understanding of how his disease will impact him, he never wants to be a burden on the people in his life. He wants nothing more than to be able to care for those around him. I also appreciated how Melanie struggled with her feelings for Allen. She respected his sexuality but still loved him. However, she still wanted nothing but the best for him, regardless of her emotions. I also respected Melanie for the fierce manner in which she defended those in her life.

The overall writing style was excellent as well. There were a few minor errors throughout the book, but overall, the book was well-edited. This book is full of deeply emotional events, and Carafa was able to portray those emotions viscerally. As a reader, I was able to understand the pain of Allen and those in his life.

I rate Love All the Way 5 out of 5 stars. There was nothing that I disliked about it. The characters showed great depth, and the plot was driven by deep-seated emotions. This book is perfect for mature audiences who enjoy romance novels that feature unconventional relationships. It does contain strong language and sexual content, so sensitive audiences should keep that in mind. Otherwise, I highly recommend Love All the Way!
