Bella is strong here. No whiny, pitiful Bella here. Again E/B (swear to god I hate the books but apparently I'm a bitch for this pairing) - per the author. The author doesn't shy away from the nity-gritty details of reality either:
Despite living in Dawesonville four years now, she and Mark have remained isolated. Some of it boils down to simple logistics. Most of their classmates don't live in or frequent places easy for a woman in a wheelchair to access. Some of it owes to subtle racism. She doubts there are 100 African Americans in the whole town, including the college; most live in nearby Connyville. And a bi-racial couple . . . well, Mark was viewed as uppity for marrying white, Bella just regarded as slumming; around here, only trailer trash married black.
