Would've been 5 stars but I would've preferred a different ending. Definitely not for the weak hearted, very touching and emotional story.🖤

This book presents a compelling narrative centered around a wealthy, adventurous businessman whose life takes a dramatic turn after a car accident leaves him quadriplegic. Struggling to accept the limitations of his new reality, he grapples with finding joy and purpose in life. In contrast, his able-bodied caretaker is hesitant to step outside her comfort zone and fully embrace life. As they challenge each other to see the world through the other's eyes, the story explores the complexities of their emotional journeys. 

The book delves into the daily struggles of living with chronic pain and the myriad medical complications that often accompany quadriplegia. While it offers a thoughtful portrayal of one person’s experience with disability, it’s important to note that it doesn’t aim to represent the experiences of all individuals with special needs.

I bawled my eyes out at the end of this book. So beautifully written. Loved it. I planned to read the rest of the series but I don’t know how I will recover.

This will always be one of my favorite books. It made me laugh, love, and cry all at the same time. The way Lou narrates her feelings makes you feel like you were in the story too. I was so sad when Will still decided to go with his plan, I cried for days after finishing the book! Yet, it will make you realize that sometimes all you can do is just stay with them until the last moment and that you cannot blame anyone even yourself for a decision they made. Sometimes all you can do is make them feel heard, loved, important and valued.

The personalities of the characters were written very well, which translated into their behaviours, expressions, coping strategies, etc. The plot itself is not one I normally go for- the whole falling in love despite having an illness/disability trope, ending in tragedy. It’s very predictable. However, the characters and their dialogue were witty, quirky, deeply- thought out and very relatable and I couldn’t put the book down. I haven’t seen the movie, but I am interested in seeing how it compares.
