“I know that you just have to choose to make the best of things. You get one life and it only goes forward. And there really are all kinds of happy endings.”

How to Walk Away by Katherine Center was an enjoyable read and I’ve been looking forward to reading it for a while. While it took me a bit longer than anticipated to get through, I felt Katherine’s words were well written. There were parts where I felt the story was too predictable and my feelings were hovering somewhere in the 3 ⭐️ range for a bit of time. But ultimately, I was captured by the ending and the outcome of Margaret’s life and story.

There are similarities between this book and Jojo Moyes’ Me Before You, certainly because of the paralysis the main character’s experience. You also see insight into the family characters in both books. In this one, I was personally intrigued by Kitty in this story and I would actually appreciate a book that centers around her. Her triumphs and trials seem more relatable in a sense, to me anyways.

Ultimately, How to Walk Away is a good mainstream fiction read. I award it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I will certainly pick up more of Katherine Centers books in the future.
