Louisa Clark had the reputation of a simple and ordinary girl who was living an extremely ordinary life. She has a steady boyfriend and close family. All of them were never known to be afield farther than the small village where they lived. She took on the badly needed job where she had to work for Will Traynor, the ex-Master of the Universe. He met an accident and since then was wheelchair bound. Will was always known for living a huge life. It was dominated by extreme sports, big deals, and worldwide travel. Then he was very much sure that he couldn’t just live the way he was.
Will was bossy and moody but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves. Soon, all of his happiness meant a lot more to her than she expected. Then the time when she learned that Will had a few shocking plans she set out to show him that life was still worth living.
The story is solid for this book but at the same time, it was quite insensitive towards those who have any physical disabilities.
