DESCRIPTION:
Best Books of the Month, January 2013: Before Louisa met Will, her plans didn't reach beyond their tiny English town. Will, when he wasn't closing multimillion-dollar deals, blew off steam scaling mountains, leaping from planes, and enjoying exquisite women--until an accident left him paralyzed and seriously depressed. When his mother hires Lou to keep his spirits up, he meets her awkward overtures with caustic contempt, but she's tenacious and oddly endearing. Plumbing morally complex depths with comedy and compassion, Jojo Moyes elevates the story of Lou and Will from what could have been a maudlin weepie into a tragic love story, with a catharsis that will wring out your heart and leave you feeling fearless. --Mari Malcolm. Their fondness grows into something deeper, gaining urgency when she realize
Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is. Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village.

Let's have everyone believe if you become paralyzed there is no reason to live. A very poor portrayal of the life of a quadriplegic. Saddened to think people will read this, see the movie, and believe this is how handicapped people think.. "Don't bother reading this if you're at all pro life" according to Amazon Customer. Let me preface this review by saying I did not read this book, though I'm sure it's very well done. Shortly after I bought it, I found out the full scope of the story and as a devout Catholic, I just can't bring myself to read something that goes so much against my principles.I bought it because I saw the movie trailer and I like Sam Claflin. I thought the story, inferred by the trailer, was a sweet, happil
