Jonathan needs to get his affairs in order. He has been living, and is now dying, with MND. He gives very careful consideration to the phrasing of his Will. But, upon reading it, his family feel that it was very poorly considered. Surely there are five people in Jonathan's life who 'should' have been named as beneficiaries. But why then didn't Jonathan apportion his estate to them himself. And why is Jonathan's carer, on the other hand, the sixth, but only, person bequeathed a specific sum? Through his Will Jonathan forces his loved ones to come together and to cooperate with one another - something that in his lifetime they had never managed to do.
On the whole I found this book an interesting and enjoyable read. Although I must confess that in the middle I did briefly think 'Get to the point please. We're going round in circles a bit here.' But there was sufficient intrigue to keep me reading and I was pleased that in the end Jonathan managed to help them heal the rifts, enabling them all to become stronger and better people as a result.
