The storyline is very similar to the French blockbuster film "Intouchables". It is the development of the delicate relationship entre was wealthy and successful form city boy, now stuck in a wheelchair, and his care giver, an upbeat girl working class. Nice, sweet book, Tackling Profound subjects have shoulds WHETHER we-have the right to chose to leave this world When life is too tough, the bread too unbearable and the fact That a trauma shoulds not define who we are. It is our share of experience but not necessarly our definition. This book is extreemly subtle and moving. You care for the characters and you surprise yourself thinking about 'em long After You-have finished the book as if They Were real people-have you met. Highly recommended. Best book I read this year.
