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.

I am stingy with my stars. I don't give 5 stars often. A 5 star book is one that will stay with me for a lifetime. This is one of those books. 

The characters were flawed. They were real. They were so very relatable. 

I loved the way the author craftily laid out a few potential endings, but you were never sure which ending it would be until the very end. 

It's a rare book that gets the ending just right. This one did that and more. Wow.

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.
