Being the hopeless romantic that I am, how could I not mention this book :P
This book came up on my recommended list on Amazon and as I'm a sucker for romance novels, this one really called out to me. I had never heard of the book or the author prior to this and I cannot begin to tell you how much I fell in love with this book.
So this book is based in England around a girl named Louisa Clark and a quadriplegic named Will Traynor. Louisa belongs to a middle-class family and she doesn't have all the good things in life but is very optimistic and content with what she has. Will belongs to a rich family and was a good businessman until he was involved in a fatal accident which paralysed him from the waist below. He was the outdoorsy type guy and the accident stopped him from doing everything he loves. He became the complete opposite of Louisa, having a completely negative outlook on life. So negative that he takes euthanasia as the answer to ending all his problems. Louisa is hired as a caretaker to Will and ends up being so much more than that. The book takes you through her attempts to change Will's mind about the Euthanasia.
I don't want to give out any spoilers, let's just say that this book propelled its way to my top 10 list :P I have never cried the way I did for this book. It's again a very "real" book.
This book will definitely pull at every one of your heartstrings.
