I have such mixed emotions about this book. So I guess in that sense the story was a success. I felt a lot of emotions while reading it. I laughed and cried and got frustrated and hopeful and angry and disappointed. I was completely engaged and appreciated having an engaging story to read on a long road trip. Moyes is a good storyteller. And her character development was strong (in the way that I was really taken with some characters and quite despised others.) Just a little personal observation ...more

Judging from the cover art, I thought this was going to be a fluffy romance. While there is some romance, Moyes takes on some heavy topics here.

I'd like to thank the people who recommended this to for my lack of sleep! I found it hard to put down and kept reading until after midnight several nights a row. I won't give spoilers, but I will say this book made me laugh & cry, sometimes at the same time. I wouldn't say that I liked the ending but I would say that it felt true.
I think the title refers to the main characters and who they were before they found each other. ...more

Shelves: read-in-2015, 1read-in-my-40s, suicide, europe

This was a page turner (read in 24 hours) and a tearjerker. I loved the characters. But, I regret reading it. I rarely finish a whole book and wish I had never read it. I would NOT recommend people in chronic pain, living with chronic illness, disabled, etc. read this book.

For people that did read the book or plan to, I wish that you would also read some about why disability rights organizations oppose some of the assisted suicide efforts. I'm going to try to come back and post more links as I f ...more
