I wanted to like this book and I do...  The love story is very believable.  I can totally see how Lou and Will could have fallen in love with each other.  However, some of the characters feel very contrived.  Lou's family members are presented as happy, loving and accepting people even tho they struggle financially and are living in very tight quarters.  I get the feeling the author wanted to create the perfect family who focus on the right things but are just too poor, but there's not enough human flaws.  She gave them enough personality to be charming and slightly comical.  Will, too, was the perfect man before his accident.  He was independently wealthy by the age of 33.  He had traveled the world and partake in so many exciting and romantic travels and activities.  For a guy who spent so much time doing so many fun and wonderful things I wonder how he found the time to build a massively successful company.  If you built this successful business, you must have enjoyed that process, perhaps you can still work on it as a quad.  Since his business dealings weren't physically demanding.  It's feasible he could continue to have a fulfilling business career in spite of his handicap.  I know people who live with ALS which leaves them less physical functions than a quad, but they still work and find fulfillment in other aspects of life.  As I read the book, I could totally see a movie made by Hollywood to be the perfect romantic comedy with a tear jerker ending.  I do like the point made by Will that he no longer has a voice since the accident and he does have a choice when it comes to his life and the people who love him should respect that choice.
