I really liked this book. It's different from what I'd usually read, but it was worth it. It really made me reflect on my opinions on assited suicide, but I believe I can now better understand why people would choose to go that way.

A couple of things that bothered me: 
- How often it was mentioned that Lou was either drinking or making tea. I mean, okay, it's set in the UK, what was I expecting, but it became really irritating after a while.
- Will never talked about his scars. Of course, it could be that he didn't want to, but I felt like that was somehow missing. We never really got an insight from Will if the scars still reminded him of his attempt, or if he had really moved on.

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

I enjoyed this book. I often don't when I've watched a film first as I spend too long comparing. But this book was beautifully written, and I felt the occasional mix of perspective helped develop the story. I hadn't realised there was a second book, but I'm hoping we get more of Ritchie.

I’ve never had a book destroy me this much in my life. I had the ending spoiled for me which kind of sucked but it still hit so hard, I cried for a good while. The depiction of quadriplegia was really good (coming from the daughter of a quad); a lot of the complications and considerations were described beautifully 
1/5 🌶️
