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.
Moderate: Suicide, Suicide attempt, and Self harm
Minor: Rape, Sexual assault, and Drug use

A heart breaking story of two people brought together by a tragic, life changing accident.
It was raw, romantic and discusses themes such as the class system, the use of drugs, assisted suicide and the effect it has on families and friends. These are raw topics that some authors choose to shy away from, not Jojo Moyes. She moves towards these themes in the book and discusses them in a broad and open way.

Amazingly I didn't cry while reading the book although I was very, very close. It really did pull on the heartstrings.
This book was raw and romantic, the love story was amazing. The book was funny and endearing. It was also laugh out loud funny.
would highly recommend this book - already reading the next book, After You.
