I’d say it’s pretty predictable, and the characters didn’t always ring true, but a god read.

This was one of the rare occasions where I saw the movie before reading the book. I loved the movie and the storyline. Reading the book was like reliving the movie, but adding so much detail that could never have fit in the allotted screen time. Louisa Clark is a middle class woman in her early 20s who lives in a small town and works a menial job to help support her parents, grandparents and sibling. During a change in vocation, she finds herself the caregiver for an upper class gentleman, Will Traynor, just a few years older than her who was involved in a devastating accident that left him completely paralyzed. His life of adventure and self absorption is changed in an instant and he has become embittered and angry with everyone. Louisa brings a new perspective to Will’s life and challenges him in ways he never expected. Her assignment with Will is a short 6 month contract  in which she challenges him in every way, including the ideas behind his own mortality and his desire to live the life he has been given. The love story, the family of both main characters, the conflict and the calm humor in the growth of their friendship is a story that cannot be missed. This is a book I will read again to revisit my love for Louisa and her relatable world, Will and the changing of his Scrooge-like outlook to one of depth and understanding as well as the supporting characters who each bring a unique perspective of how grief and life is handled by different people with ever changing circumstances. This is the life and love story that asks the question of who were you before you met the person who changed your world?

I cried so many fat ugly years but also laughed so much, and i then i remembered why I had put off re reading this book for years. Jojo has this innate ability to make her characters creep into your heart and make a little home in there well before you'd even know it, the banter between Will and Lou makes this book that much more memorable, the feelings so real so wonderfully described. Unputdownable, heading straight to reading 'after you' now.
