I must admit that I wished for more for Lou. I wanted for her to travel and meet interesting people and experience more after the death of Will Traynor. I wanted to read about a crazy adventure that would have had him on the edge of his seat (wheelchair?). I wanted Lou to fill her life with humor and love and challenge the way that she once thought. But that isn't always life. Life is filled with so many emotions and feelings that sometimes, even though you want to make someone proud, you find yourself failing. 
 It would have been fun to read about a different Lou. One that went out and did the things that Will so desperately wanted to do and have her do. I wanted her to go Spain and flirt with handsome Spaniards, to go to Greece and enjoy the beautiful beaches and gorgeous landscape. I wanted to do it with Lou, because she is funny and smart and has a certain way about her that I connected to. But that is not the story we were told. And in some ways that is better because it is real. 
 There was much that I liked about this book. I liked the odd interactions in group therapy. I liked that Lou's mother was stepping outside of her own comfort zone much to her husband's dismay. I liked Ambulance Sam and his farm. I liked the emotional depth that you had to go through with Lily to find out who she was, but I still didn't like her. I wish that Lou's personality would have popped out more because when it did (the ambulance and the intervention) it was good to read. My biggest disappointment was that we didn't get to go to New York. That is a story that I want to know about.
