From the moment I found out about the existance of this book I knew I was going to cry when I read it. However this could't convince me not to. I needed this little thing in my life. I needed the story encapsulated in those 350 pages to settle down into my mind and to be with me at this point of my life. I was sure I would love it, and I am so glad I was right. It touched me so much... 
 As a general idea, the story follows a young man named Will, who had a wonderful life that he adored. He had a dream job, a lot of friends and adventures. He loved skiing, climbing mountains, swimming, everything that made him feel the life. He was a successful person, an enviable man who could afford anything. He never thought his road will ever change its direction, until one day he was hit by a motorcycle on the road near his house. He suffered a terrible trauma and became a C5-6 quadriplegic, which means that his spinal cord was affected, thus he had stuck in a wheelchair for his entire life. Of course nobody would ever be ready for this and he couldn't accept his new life, therefore taking a dreadful decision to give himself six more months. At this point Louisa appears in his life, the girl with strange clothes and weird jokes, with no experience working with ill people, and she desperately tries to change his mind. 
 I loved that it is not just an ordinary love story with two mediocre characters chasing after each other. This one has much more depth, approaching some serious topics as well. The central idea of it is defined in the following quote - "You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible." The characters of this story influence the lives of each other, Will trying to convince Lou do something with her life and open her horizons, while Louisa attempts to show Will there are good things in life even if you cannot do anything by yourself. 
 I liked the characters, even though there is small amount of them. Louisa is such an interesting person, to my mind. I mean she is weird, dating for seven years a person she never loved, and wearing all those handmade clothes, enjoying excessively her bumble-bee tights - at 27 years old, and saying silly jokes at inappropriate times. Nevertheless, she is such a bright and optimistic appearance, who brings so much joy into this book. I even liked Will with all his sarcastic expressions and angry faces, with him being dead against anything that would get him out of his comfort zone. The secondary characters were good as well, bringing some realism into the idealistic ideas Louisa had. It's a little bit weird but one of my favourites was that man on the internet, Ritchie, who made Lou understand the reasons that drove Will. I kind of thought at some point that it was Will himself, as he seemed so sympathetic. 
 The ending was... Well... heart-breaking. I knew I should expect something like that, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, I knew it for sure but couldn't stop thinking otherwise until I finally read those last 3 chapters... 
 Therefore, I would repeat myself one more time. I loved this book with all my heart. I am really grateful for the feelings it aroused, and I am infinitely thankful to it for messing up my life at this moment. 
 Now I am really looking forward to watch the movie. Gonna get a ticket as soon as it comes out...

 *	"Push yourself. Don't settle. Wear those stripy legs with pride. And if you insist on settling down with some ridiculous bloke, make sure some of this is squirreled away somewhere. Knowing you still have possibilities is a luxury. Knowing I might have given them to you has alleviated something for me." 
 *	"You are scored on my heart,Clark. You were from the first day you walked in,with your ridiculous clothes and your complete inability to ever hide a single thing you felt."
