![]() ![]() Unlike Will in Me Before You, Margaret tends toward the cheerful and good-hearted, though she suffers setbacks that (very realistically) grind her down and cause her to lose hope at times. How to Walk Away reminded me quite a bit of a gender-swapped version of Jojo Moyes’ Me Before You, though far less tragic (thank goodness I’m not up for tragedies right now). Why did Kitty disappear? And what secret is Margaret’s hunky-but-surly physical therapist hiding? Cowardly Chip can’t bear to face her, but as she heads into rehab, Margaret receives an unexpected visitor: her older sister Kitty, who has been estranged from the family for several years. Chip walks away without a scratch, but Margaret is left a paraplegic with serious burns on her neck. ![]() After an in-flight marriage proposal, everything seems perfect-until a storm comes up, causing the plane to crash-land. ![]() Margaret Jacobsen hates flying, but her boyfriend Chip has been taking lessons, and when he insists on taking her for a spin, she can’t bring herself to say no. ![]() Sometimes, they pop up halfway through (I’m looking at you, Patty Jane’s House of Curl), but the one in How to Walk Away is right there at the top. If at all possible, I try to avoid reading about plane crashes when I’m actually flying on an airplane. I downloaded Katherine Center’s How to Walk Away to my e-reader before going on a trip last month-a trip out of town! Ah, the pre-quarantine days what a world that was!-and decided to save it for later when I realized that it begins with a plane crash. ![]()
