We always have to be careful when we make a wish. Abby Ryan was so pathetic about her boyfriend who broke up with her after quite a long relationship, and wished to forget him and everything she’d been through with him. As the book goes on, you learn how much she depended on him. Sadly, her wish had really happened; she was hit by falling debris when she was walking under a ladder on her way to work and has lost much of her long-term memory. Abby can't believe it's true. She feels fine. She even remembered what exactly happened the day before the accident. She didn’t fully understood how will the damage affect her daily life but the many neurologist and physiologists she spoke to tried to explain as much as they could. Her brain was damaged in the hippocampus which was the first stage of Alzheimer. Abby’s family was caring, loving and wonderfully supportive. They didn’t like how she spent all her time working after the break up. She even stopped meeting her friends or going out anymore. She didn’t care about anything. Although her sister, Caroline, never gave up on talking to and advising her, she never listened. She started to get used to the damage and going back to her normal life, but with a new Abby. She decided to live her life and do all the things she wanted to do. She did a list of to-do things. She started going out with friends and chilling again. She made her life worth living and forgot about her brain damage that would’ve made her lose her memory and life. What I liked the most in this novel was the optimism in her, the strength to never give up! I think that it’s simply telling that in our lives, we will face a lot of problems that we might think that they are the end of the world but no, it’s your life, you chose how to live it no matter how people frustrate you or let you down, you can still stand on your legs and can prove them wrong and just be happy! Love the life, and it’ll love you back.
