Skryf Review
Amazing Read
This book was hilarious yet heart wrenching to read. It’s a journey of a woman trying to save a man opting for Euthanasia and on the way, they both unconsciously save each other from different demons in their lives. She saves him from depression and hating his life, and he helps her discover who she truly is. This may not sound as a plot that claims to be of the romance genre, but it is. Though the romance is in the background. The foreground of the book is Lou’s mission to change Will’s mind about ending his life through euthanasia. The mission not over shadowed by romance. But the chemistry between Lou and Will is very entertaining. It’s full of sarcasm, understanding, laughter, grumpiness, bossiness, care and fun.
Overall, the writing style is easy, friendly and funny with a perfect doses and description of human emotions and psychology.
