The first thing is that I felt the book was a little clichéd with the whole, disabled person being incredibly rude then falls deeply in love with the person they were rude too and of course they both hide their feeling until it is pretty much too late.
Another personal opinion is that I found it very harsh that even though the other characters declare their love for the other person then they go and kill themselves anyway. I know it is probably a good plot twist andy everything but still...
So anyway The book is about a lady called Lou Clark, Lou struggles after the cafe she worked at for years closes, rendering her jobless and needing to provide for her parents.
Will Traynor had everything he could ever want, girls, an amazing hot shot career and lots of money. But all that will knows changes when he was in a motorcycle accident making him Quadriplegic, Will cannot move anything from his chest down and has to have a motorised chair.
They meet when Lou's last option at the job centre is to be a carer to Will Traynor. When Lou starts her first day with Will he is horrid to her, he makes her feel dumb and stupid when she is unsure of what to say to him and unsure of how to approach him.
After a while of Lou working with Will he becomes a little less arrogant and manages to string sentences together without intimidating Lou so much, as they begin to like each other more Lou finds out that the real reason she is looking after Will is because he tried to end his life a few month prior to Lou's employment.
She also finds out that Will wants to go to Switzerland to end his life as he despise what he has become and can't stand not having the life he wants. Lou wants him to see that there is life after what has happened to Will trys to take him on fun adventures to try and change his mind.
I did enjoy the book the writing was great and most of the expected emotions were met. I did like the story overall it was a pleasure to read all in all.
