i thought the characters were really well written, and it tugged on my heartstrings that’s for sure. but there’s a lot about this that feels a bit iffy to me?

i liked how she talked about both sides of the argument of assisted suicide but i don’t know i felt like there could’ve been more

not sure how or why this has so much widespread praise when its just the manifestation of the author's ableist thoughts. this could have been a decent tragic love story if there wasn't so much pity and hatred for people in wheelchairs as subverse
