Melanie asked this question about Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted:
Anyone know what happened to Will? I was so in love with Will and furious at Suleika when they broke up and she found another boyfriend immediately. The girl does not know how to be alone. And how could she be with someone that long and then immediately move on to another person? I felt a little chastised at learning that she's still with Jon. Isn't that wild? She and Jon have been a couple for 8+ years!

I don’t think she mentioned having changed Will’s name but from what I gather it is indeed Seamus M…moreIt took a while for me to even warm up to Suleika. I don’t think she mentioned having changed Will’s name but from what I gather it is indeed Seamus McKiernan as other readers already stated. What an immense amount of pressure on a relationship and a person. I am glad she did him justice in the book and I agree with others too that Suleika is apparently unable to be alone.
I agree with you she did immediately switch to Jon. Her travels and thoughts about ending it tried to show some growing up. And Jon was very patient with her. Now that she has had cancer return and is in hospital for a second bone marrow transplant (her brother again?) we’ll see how that turns out.
I don’t think she really grew up to be her own person. Despite losing so many friends to cancer. She still comes across as utterly dependent on being in a relationship which always makes me feel a little queasy, uneasy and sorry for them.(less)
