I cried so many fat ugly years but also laughed so much, and i then i remembered why I had put off re reading this book for years. Jojo has this innate ability to make her characters creep into your heart and make a little home in there well before you'd even know it, the banter between Will and Lou makes this book that much more memorable, the feelings so real so wonderfully described. Unputdownable, heading straight to reading 'after you' now.

Don't think of me too often. I don't want to think of you getting all maudlin. Just live well.

Just live.

I’m rereading all the books I own, and this one made me cry all over again. It’s honestly weirdly entertaining to see the tear stains in your book and then immediately add to them. I will say that this story feels ingrained with ableism, but I do acknowledge that that does fade a bit within our main character as she learns more. And I do understand why someone who was SUDDENLY disabled would feel this way. Still bits of it felt off. Random and specific, but I did notice and really appreciate that Moyes used the word Inuit instead of the slur. I did enjoy this book very, very deeply, despite all the pain; I just find it important to note the things that didn’t sit exactly right.

This is a really sweet but sad story. It moved slowly and took longer than it should have to finish. I would recommend it, though, but you have to be in the right frame of mind. The bulk of the story isn’t too sad but you feel like something terrible is lurking just around the corner.
