** spoiler alert ** I randomly discovered this book after seeing a preview on Redbox for the movie (which I haven't seen). The premise sounded interesting and I prefer to read books before seeing the movie which often isn't as good as the original story. Having never heard of this author or read her work I was so impressed with her ability to make me feel for the characters. I still feel like they are "with me" days after I finished this book (while crying no less). She writes well and is able to make me feel and think rather than be weighed down and miserable despite the topics in the book.

I have no idea what I would think if faced with the same situation as Will, I felt for his family being asked to go along with his wishes when wanting the opposite. I wonder if Lou was on to something when she asked Will if it was harder because of the "big" life he had lived before.

I felt like I was on a journey with Lou to discover more of what she was capable of and push outside the limitations she put on her life. I just don't know how to feel about Will, he didn't deserve the life he ended up with but at the same time he wouldn't have given Lou the time of day before the accident it seems. So to finally really love someone and then still choose escape instead of the harder path I just haven't decided what I feel about that.

This is at least PG-13, language, sex (not graphic but you know it happened), heavy topics (rape, suicide).
