I really do want to know whether the author is ablist or just really strong on right-to-die. Because it would make a difference in how I'd read the book (or if I would at all). I don't like the idea of telling disabled people that they are good to no one and are a burden and so should die. But on the other hand, I believe that people should have the right to die if they so choose. And for me it is hard to tell with what I have read about this author.

Yeah, I don't know about Jojo Moyes. I can't speak for her. I don't know her.

But I got the impression from the novel (less so the film. I don't remember the film covering this aspect as well) that it's more the latter. Lou finds an online support group for people who are paraplegic and how they live with it. She talks with them and gets advice from them and tries in earnest to build a future with Will, but he struck me as an incredibly self-loathing character.

So I'm gonna sit here and be the arbiter of whether Moyes is ableist or not, but the book came across to me as though she's just a big proponent of the right-to-die, which I can relate to.
