Touches on the complexity of physical disabilities and love as well as how to live in a world whoch is not catered for you. Both characters have a 'quirk' which is not accepted whether it's Will's disability or Lou's eccentricity

I cried. Multiple times. That is usually a rare thing when I read. This book broke my heart in so many ways for the characters, and I love that it was able to do that.

5.0

Boyyyy do I love this story. I’m a big fan of both the book and the movie. This story is incredibly moving and will have you laughing, swooning, and absolutely sobbing. The ending is rough (from someone who’s very sensitive to not perfectly happy endings), but still wraps up nicely and makes sense. One of my favorite stories ever.
