Inspirational is the #1 “like” about this book. I spent days thinking about what I want in my life and who I want to be. Truly a “moving” book … Read it!
Loved it. Would love reading her other books.
Lou and Will may be among my favorite characters of all time. A beautifully written book, and a love story for the ages. I missed this book long after the last page. Do not read without a book of tissues.
Fabulous book
Love it
Great!
Very touching!! It made me laugh and it made me cry. I was sad when it ended!! Well done
A great love story on more than one level.
Loved the story, but be prepared for tears.
This was a story that brought to the fore the subject of suicide when facing of life of little to no function. It pitted the wishes of those who loved the victim against the wishes of the victim of such horrible circumstance. Enlightening.
By far the most interesting story by Moyes. Read everything after this and then went back & read all of the earliest
Generally I don’t care for romance novels, and I thought this plot would be unoriginal and predictable. But somehow the characters caught at me — and the drawing of the girl and her family, especially her relationship with her sister, was remarkably well-done — and it may have been predictable, but I still found myself rooting for the girl and hoping for a happy ending. It’s well-written, and I recommend it highly!
This story will pull your heart strings. It is warm and sad all at the same time.
Having to let go of someone we love is terribly painful. Who are we to say that anyone should live a life that is even more painful for them, however, particularly if we truly care about them? Saying that I “enjoyed” reading this is not quite accurate, though I am very glad that I did and I think the author did a great job portraying this heartbreaking dilemma.
Beautiful and sad that’s all I can say without spoilers. I will read it again.
Loved it and the movie. Just so sad at the end
Mostly a waste of time, just to predictable and sappy
A great read! Funny at times, and yet so very sad! Great characters!
I loved this story as it shows compassion. Unusual romance
One of the best books I’ve read. My mother, sister and I all have very different tastes in fiction, but we all loved it!
