This book was better than the movie. So much happens that wasn't mentioned in the book that I'm glade I decided to read it even though I saw the movie.

Louisa Clark is a character that you just can't help but fall in love with. She is so quarky in her likes and her inability to hide how she feels that she is utterly unforgettable. The story has so many harsh truths about life that you can't help but think about how relateable this story is to so many other lives. The ups and downs of caring for a quadriplegic is real and heart wrenching but what makes it worse was the fact that no matter how much Louisa Clark tries to guard her heart against a charming man who seems bent on ending his pain, she's unable to. Even knowing that no matter how much she tries Will has always been a man unto himself Louisa can't keep herself from trying to change Will's mind. She grows so much during the six months with him that you can only hope that in the end she will continue and not let what happens define her.

I wish that the ending were different and I cried sever times during this book, but overall I loved it. Life is full of harsh truths and this book put's them out their. I loved it.....
