I really liked this book. It's different from what I'd usually read, but it was worth it. It really made me reflect on my opinions on assited suicide, but I believe I can now better understand why people would choose to go that way.
A couple of things that bothered me:
- How often it was mentioned that Lou was either drinking or making tea. I mean, okay, it's set in the UK, what was I expecting, but it became really irritating after a while.
- Will never talked about his scars. Of course, it could be that he didn't want to, but I felt like that was somehow missing. We never really got an insight from Will if the scars still reminded him of his attempt, or if he had really moved on.
