I went into this book knowing what was going to happen but wanting an emotional release. What I didn't expect, was becoming so invested in the characters from the start. Louisa is such a well-developed and dynamic character, and watching her come to terms with the world around her and discover herself is wonderful. I do have to say that once Louisa's trauma is revealed, we rarely hear about it again which was kind of strange. 
This is a beautiful book with a beautiful message to live life to the fullest and choose how you live. Additionally, Will and Louisa have amazing banter that will make you laugh throughout. 
If I had one true critique, it was that there was some very abrupt point of view jumping which could be jarring.

Je me souviens que ce livre est sorti il y a des années. Tout le monde en parlait; sur l’homme riche et tétraplégique qui se tombe amoureux de la femme typique  et régulière chargée de prendre soin de lui. J’avais lu le livre pendant cette période, et récemment j’ai décidé de le relire. Et, honnêtement? Ce livre me semblait un peu ennuyeux. Les personnages, sauf le petit Thomas, n’était ni aimables ni insupportables. Ils avaient tous ses moments bons et ses moments mauvais. C’est essentiellement une autre histoire de l’amour hétérosexuel. D’ailleurs, il y avait des passages pas nécessaires, et Louisa avait des temps où elle était un peu trop mélodramatique. Donc, je crois que je peux dire que l’histoire en elle-même n’est pas si intéressante. 
Mais, clairement, je crois que la raison pour laquelle tout le monde a aimé ce livre, c’est pour la conversation qu’il a invoqué sur la Dignitas et sur les handicaps, bien que c’était clair que l’auteure est pas handicapée.
