This book is beautiful and deeply cathartic. Do not read this if you value your sleep. You will not be able to put it down. Jojo Moyes has a way of writing characters and devising plot so even when you put the book down, all you can think about is her story. I finished this book a day ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it. 

I feel this way about Someone Else’s Shoes. I can’t wait to read all of her books.

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’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 🌶️

This book was beautiful. It was beautifully written, everything. I’d already seen the movie about a dozen times, so I wanted to try the book. As most people say, “The book is usually better.” That is an understatement here. If you haven’t read this book, you are seriously missing out.
