Really enjoyed this, slogged a little towards the end.

i like that will stook to his guns honestly. but throwing in lou’s mom basically calling her a murderer at the end felt unnecessary to me? thought i guess still realistic.

overall, a really enjoyable and compelling love story.

ps. in terms of a “diverse cast of characters” i initially said no because they’re all white, but the focus of the book is on a quadripagelic so: it’s complicated

This book is beautiful and deeply cathartic. Do not read this if you value your sleep. You will not be able to put it down. Jojo Moyes has a way of writing characters and devising plot so even when you put the book down, all you can think about is her story. I finished this book a day ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it.

I feel this way about Someone Else’s Shoes. I can’t wait to read all of her books.

i thought the characters were really well written, and it tugged on my heartstrings that’s for sure. but there’s a lot about this that feels a bit iffy to me?

i liked how she talked about both sides of the argument of assisted suicide but i don’t know i felt like there could’ve been more

I’ve never had a book destroy me this much in my life. I had the ending spoiled for me which kind of sucked but it still hit so hard, I cried for a good while. The depiction of quadriplegia was really good (coming from the daughter of a quad); a lot of the complications and considerations were described beautifully
1/5 🌶️
