Me he tirado meses y meses retrasando la lectura porque sabia que era bonita pero triste y ya le tocó la hora y ha sido una historia adorable porque en otra vida Will y Lou jamás se hubiesen conocido, jamás se habrían fijado el uno en el otro pero por cosas del destino ahí están ellos para vivir esos 6 meses y para que Will le enseñe a Lou que hay mucha mas en la vida y que la tiene por delante por descubrirla el final ha sido duro es imposible no llorar, imposible no ponerte en el lugar de will comprender tb a Lou y saber que cada uno lleva su parte de razón pero lo que hay es lo que es, así que a pesar de ese final les guardo un recuerdo bonito a ellos y a su historia ♥

This book was okay, but it didn't thrill me. I found it very predictable. Whether will decided to live or die, I didn't care all that much. I found the relationship between Louisa and her family unrealistic. The idea of being in control of ones body and destiny is an interesting thing to explore, but the cheesy, typical love story overshadowed this potential. I don't entirely care to read the sequel.

Every once in a while I come across a book I cannot put down and spend the evening into early morning finishing it. This was one of those books. From the get go I wanted to know more about Will and the Traynor's.
Louisa Clark needs a job and at the old age of 26 she's done nothing more fanny about at a local bakery. The Traynor's need assistance in taking care of their son, who two years previously became a quadriplegic due to a freak accident. Her first meeting with Will doesn't go well, he's acerbic, hateful, and bossy. She wants to quit (this seems to be her thing) but due to her family's financial predicament, she toughs it out. Her childish, happy personality soon thaws Will's cantankerous heart but is it enough to make Will want to live.
Although I loved this book and couldn't put it down, Louisa drove me up the wall. For the very reason she seems to get through to Will, is the very reason I found her irritating. She's childish, immature, and, like a child, only believes in her opinion. When things get tough or things don't go her way, she stomps her foot, runs away, and then gives you the silent treatment. There were so many times I wanted Will to just run her over with his wheelchair.
In spite of Louisa's behavior, there were times that her naiveté endeared herself to Will, she provided a fresh perspective that helped him endure the incredible pain he suffered.
It was brilliantly written and had me engrossed with the story and the characters. Only one minor bit that would take me out of the story were these one-chapter tales from others. Will's mother, father, Nathan (Will's nurse), and Louisa's sister. They just came out of no where and didn't add anything to the story. After the first one, I continued to read the book, skipping those chapters and then went back afterwards and read them. The ending was not a surprise but still heartfelt.
As the sequel is Louisa's story, I will go no further as I'm not sure I could take anymore of her.
