I chose to read this book because I saw the movie trailer and it has Sam Claflin (Finnick from The Hunger Games) and I just had to find more out about it. I don't really understand the want that I had. But, I have followed that want and my short review is below.

I must say that I was surprised at myself for crying when I was at the end of the novel. I found the novel to be enjoyable to read but also skipped a few paragraphs and didn't feel guilty for not going back to read it.

I must say that I was surprised at myself for crying when I was at the end of the novel. I found the novel to be enjoyable to read but also skipped a few paragraphs and didn't feel guilty for not going back to read it. I actually did not want to read it because I didn't think it would be necessary.

I am glad that I have read this book as I have not been exposed much to quadriplegics and how they live their lives. I found the book was somewhat informative about how they felt and what is required for them to live comfortably. I do feel that I could have learnt much, much more about them from this book if only more was included.

I wasn't surprised at how much of a health nut Patrick was. (view spoiler)
I found Lou's fashion style intriguing but felt like her personality could have been explored more. We don't really find out what she wants from her life but I suspect that we will in the next novel. (view spoiler)
I don't really have an opinion on Will. He never seemed like a genuine nice guy. I think he could have been one if he and Lou stayed together longer. I don't think that I could say that he is a memorable character. Time will tell. I think I will remember Lou's family more than Will.

I recommend you to read this book if you're curious about paraplegics, love romance and are looking for a quick read (maybe a two day read).

Such a well written, heart breaking story. I was hooked from the first chapter.

I didn't really know what to expect from this. After making an impulsive purchase of this book, I left it for a couple of months.

I recently picked it up because I had nothing else to read, and it instantly gripped me. In some ways, it was emotionally exhausting, and left me the way one feels after a weekend of constant sobbing mixed in with some alcohol. But I don't regret reading it, because it also re-ignited me with joie de vivre.

I think it's the kind of novel that can be interpreted and enj ...more
