Louisa Clark is an outgoing woman in her mid-20s who is compelled to find a new job after being laid off from a café she had worked at for six years. With some help, she finds work as a caregiver for Will Traynor, a cynical former banker who becomes completely paralyzed by a motorcycle accident two years prior. At first, he reacts coldly to her spunkiness, and he treats her with contempt. Soon enough the two begin to bond and they eventually become close friends and develop feelings for each other, even though Louisa has an unthoughtful, marathon-running boyfriend named Patrick.
While at work one day, Louisa overhears Will's parents and she learns that Will has given his parents six months before they must bring him to Switzerland for assisted suicide. Will cannot deal with the pain and suffering of his disability and wishes for his old self to come back, but because this isn't a possibility, he asks for his parents to do this one thing for him. Upon learning about this, Louisa secretly makes it her mission to change his mind and she takes him on all the adventures so that she can prove that life is worth living. They finally have a successful trip going to a Mozart concert and begin to connect, and further developing feelings for each other. However, at their final trip in Mauritius with Will's physical therapist, Nathan, Will confesses how he still intends to follow through with the euthanasia despite his love for her, as he wants her to live a full life instead of "half a life" with him. He asks for her to accompany him one last time.
Louisa is heartbroken at the thought of having to witness Will pass away and does not speak to him the rest of the trip. After they arrive home, however, Louisa's father persuades her to go to Will. Eventually, she goes to Switzerland to see Will in his final moments. After his death, he bequeaths her enough money to follow her dreams and instructs her to "live well" or "just live".
