The personalities of the characters were written very well, which translated into their behaviours, expressions, coping strategies, etc. The plot itself is not one I normally go for- the whole falling in love despite having an illness/disability trope, ending in tragedy. It’s very predictable. However, the characters and their dialogue were witty, quirky, deeply- thought out and very relatable and I couldn’t put the book down. I haven’t seen the movie, but I am interested in seeing how it compares.

Completely heartbreaking! Sobbing my heart out, great read if you are needing something you can laugh and cry at. I completely adore Will & Lou! The last few chapters really got me!

Really enjoyed this. I went into this book mostly blind- I didn't know what it was about, but I knew there wouldn't be a HEA. I found myself occasionally skipping descriptions, and just reading the next bit of dialogue.

 I don't know how to feel about this one. 😐 I imagine writing this book was rather controversial and I don't think this is a representation of life for people with disabilities (and maybe Moyes didn't mean it to be one). A strong pet peeve about this book for me, wasn't the topic of assisted death but rather the hypocrisy of Wills logic as he encourages Lou to live life to the fullest. Did this book make me giddy and tear up at the love story, yes, but not with Patrick, he can go fall in love with his running shoes.
