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.

Lordy, oh, Lordy, did this hit me in the feels. Once upon a time I'd read something similar by a lady called Megan Hart and I bawled like a baby. In a very similar and at the same time a very different way, this book made me cry a whole lot. All I could think of was how much she loved him and how she wasn't enough, and the kind of weight that would have been. 

I know it's a book about choices, and how people have the right to them, regardless of how one may feel about them. But it does pack one hell of a punch.
