Esse livro foi uma releitura, pois fazia muitos anos que eu não lia ele e enquanto eu arrumava meus livros ficaram muito curiosa para relembrar essa historia. E que releitura, amei poder ler novamente esse livro, já que me fez lembrar o quanto amo esse livro.
O livro conta a história de Lou, uma moça de 26 anos que ainda vive com sua família em uma cidade do interior da Inglaterra. Após perder o emprego em uma cafeteria ela se vê obrigada a buscar um novo emprego, com isso ela acaba conseguindo uma vaga de cuidadora. E será nesse emprego que ela conhecerá o Will, um tetraplégico que já não tem vontade de viver. Lou tentará fazer com que Will mude de ideia quanto a sua vida.
A história de Lou e Will, faz a gente se divertir e também se emocionar. Teve algumas partes que senti muita raiva, principalmente, as partes que mostra como a família e o namorado da Lou tratam ela, como se ela fosse uma garota bobo e sem futuro. Uma das coisas que eu mais amo nesse livro é que Will o tempo todo tenta mostrar para Lou o quanto ela é incrível.
Foi bom revisitar o passado, teve algumas cenas que nem lembrava mais e pude ler de novo. Além disso, pude prestar atenção em alguns pontos que não prestara há anos atrás.

Wow, I wasn't sure about the book but it was sweet, and sad, and thought provoking. Without giving away too much, and that ending, I'm glad I read it. The characters were so real to me I couldn't quit thinking about them. My first JoJo Moyes book.

I really don’t know how to rate this book. It’s beautiful but tragic all at the same time. There’s a conflict in me between understanding/appreciating the ending but also disliking the ending. One of the most important parts of a book is how the ending stays with you and this one is painful. Tear jerker for sure.

I picked this book up, with countless customers coming into the store raving about it. My curiosity alone was why I decided to read it. I enjoyed Moyes writing style, as it was easy to lose myself in the book. I felt the story was very inspirational. The reason that I gave this book a Luke warm rating was because 100 pages in I guessed what happened at the end, hoping that it would go against what I thought, leaving me in awe. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and I was left with just a "meh" feeling upon finishing...
