I picked the book up, and wasn’t planned on reading it so soon, but I decided to because I couldn’t get into the other books. Going into the book I am hoping that it is as good as people say it is.

I am a bit 50:50 on the book so far.

I’m still 50:50 about the book. There are some parts where I’m like ‘This is an amazing book’ and other parts I’m thinking ‘What am I Reading’. I don’t have the urge to keep picking it up, and when I do I don’t mind reading one or two pages at a time.

Now that I am pretty far into the story, it’s not the best book I’ve read. It’s pretty much all over the place,
I really am struggling while reading the book. I can’t deal with the randomness of the book. How can a Book this bad have so many people loving it. I’m just hoping it gets better.
I don’t even know what page I am on, how anyone thinks that this books is a good love story is beyond me. It’s cheesy, predictable and plain rubbish.
I saw a good review on the book and in paraphrasing it ‘Has Anyone noticed the message of the book is Disabled life isn’t worth living’ and I couldn’t agree more.
I feel as if it’s just a cheesy love story with extra cheese for good measure, and this is coming from someone who loves a good cheesy romance book.
By the time I finished it I lost all will to live. I gave it a 2* just because there where parts that were really cute and sweet, but it was confusing when they would talk and it seemed like someone else was in the conversation but wasn’t really.
The fact that Will wanted to die was predictable and what would have been more predictable is if he actually lived. It was also predictable that Louisa would go to Paris, and that Will would have left her money that would allow her to go and study and move out, just as much as her normal un jealous boyfriend would become jealous of the person Louisa would work for.
The only person I actually liked was Will, and is the main reason why I rated the book 2*, after his accident he knows that he wants to die and no one will listen to him, it’s almost as if he doesn’t have a choice or voice in his own life anymore yet he can clearly think and talk,
