Made me cry! Romance with minimal cheese and a lot of heart. Deals with suicide related to chronic illness.

What's there to say about this one? I laughed, I ugly cried, after finishing it, I wanted to run out and start really doing things like Will. I think this book really works for people who, like Lou, are facing the rest of their lives and trying to make a decision about what that life is going to look like. Do you stay in the place, and with the people you have always known, or do you start a new adventure even though you could fail? I loved how they taught each other, and made each other see the world differently, which is what real love should do. 

That being said, I wish there had been a bit more to this story than just Lou and Will. I think both of their families could have been featured more, and neither of them really had any friends. I understand that the story really was about them, but it would have been nice to have a bit more dimension.
