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.

While there is a whole conversation to have about the topics this book involves, the book in itself just feels poorly written. There's no captivating element. The characters are all dislikeable, and the writing isn't moving at all, even when it tries.
