Reviewed by Elisa x3.5 ★ Alfie has been in hospital for months after losing his leg in a car accident, and Alice got into a fire at work which resulted in her having to be in hospital for quite some time. Alfie's bubbly character tries to cheer everyone up, including Alice, who hasn't said a word since her accident. However, as time goes on, you learn that his cheerful manner is just a mask that hides his anxieties. A beautiful and tender tale of two people falling in love with each other just through words. It’s a different love story where no touches, kisses or smiles are exchanged, but only thoughts, fears and hopes.
