This man, Will Traynor, had once been on the fast track in life - a high powered business man who pursued a thrilling life of action and adventure. It’s about a woman, Louisa, who is desperate for a job and accepts a position as private caregiver to a young disabled man, a quadriplegic, from a wealthy family. And I just want to say that I am SO glad that I finally decided to go for it because this story will stay in my heart forever. But I finally came to terms mentally with the story and got to a point where I felt I was ready to read it. I’d even open the book, then chicken out and put it back. So I kept it at the back of my mind and would think about it from time to time. I found out the ending back in 2012 when I first heard about the book and my initial reaction was Noooope, I can’t do this!… but I was still drawn to the story and deeply curious about it. I’ll be honest, it’s taken me over a year to work up the courage to read this book. Absolutely unforgettable. I honestly think it’s impossible to come away from this book without an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all the blessings in your life. It was powerful, heart-breaking, and bittersweet but also oddly heartwarming. When I finished this book, tears were pouring down my face. “I had a hundred and seventeen days in which to convince Will Traynor that he had a reason to live.”
