The title—Freewill—is a shout-out to the ending of the book. Well, really it's a shout-out to the whole thing, because Will is making choices the whole time. But it isn't until the end that Will checks back into his life and decides to take charge of it. He spends the whole book wallowing in self-pity and feeling like a victim of, admittedly terrible, circumstances. But after some tough talk from Angela, and facing down the reporter and the dude in the black jacket, Will finally realizes that—shocker—he's in charge of his own existence. He's had freewill all along.
