This took me quite a while to get through which is one reason the rating is lower. I did love Louisa and I admired her courage and will to learn in order to help Will Traynor. On one hand I hoped for the happy amazing ending most Romance readers expect, but on the other hand, regardless of how other people felt and lived with quadriplegia, I knew Will wasn’t one of those people. He’s not weak, or unwilling by any means, but it’s every individuals choice, and I completely understood his POV and his reasoning and his choice. I was often frustrated at Louisa and Will’s parents, but I also understand how it must’ve felt to know your loved one, your child, wants to die. It’s heartbreaking from every single persons POV and understandable from each.
