In the book, Louisa moves into the castle with the Traynors after she breaks up with her boyfriend, Patrick. We are left to ponder only Will’s experience. In the film, Will teases Lou, asking if she has any suggestions for quadriplegic support groups, but there’s no mention of Lou researching other disabled people’s stories like she does in the book. Instead, it is simply implied that Will plans to go to Switzerland, where assisted suicide is legal. It’s likely the filmmakers didn’t want to include the name of the group because of its controversial nature. Dignitas is a real organization in Switzerland helping those with severe or terminal illnesses die with dignity through assisted suicide. In the book, Will is planning to get help with his suicide from Dignitas. Instead, it is just implied by Will’s negative attitude. Though his aid, Nathan (Stephen Peacocke), mentions to Louisa that Will has good and bad days, we don’t actually see Will go through a lot of pain or physical difficulty. While we know he’s miserable in the movie, the filmmakers made him a little more likeable, possibly so that the romance could blossom more quickly. In the book, we get a stronger sense of Will’s (Sam Claflin) frustration and anger about his quadriplegia. This character tweak may have been to make it seem easier for Louisa to fall in love with Will.
Instead, he’s a comic figure who seems incredibly selfish and is strangely obsessed with running.
Patrick (Matthew Lewis) and Louisa are dating, but they don’t make Patrick very sympathetic. But in the film, Louisa’s dedication to her family and own physical beauty rival her sister’s, making them confidantes. In the book, Louisa constantly plays second fiddle to her younger sister, Treena (Jenna Coleman). He just hands her an envelope of cash and says he’s sorry. In the movie, no explanation is given to Louisa about why she’s losing her job. In the book, the café owner, Frank (Pablo Raybould), tells Louisa (Emilia Clarke) he must go back to Australia to take care of his father and thinks the local castle will soon be providing their own refreshments.
