BACK COVER:

Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life–steady boyfriend, close family–who has barely been farther afield than her tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair-bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life–big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel–and he is not interested in exploring a new one.

Will is acerbic, moody, bossy–but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, Lou sets out to show him that life is still worth living.

Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common–a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

REVIEW:

Simply put, this book will stay with you forever. It’s the kind that begs to be shared with the stranger at the local coffee shop you frequent. It reaches into your soul and begs of you, “What the hell are you doing with your life?” It begs you to live for those who are unable to do so.

I never wanted to put it down. I fell in love with Lou and Will, felt their frustrations, keeled over in their pain, and hoped for a forever. Moyes did everything a reader wants and she kept with the reality of the situation. Despite knowing that tragedy was inevitable, I was a masochist gulping down the pages like one breathes air. I wanted to read it in one night, lock myself in my room with a box of tissues.

It’s devastating but my god is it absolutely captivating. It’s entirely heartbreaking, I won’t lie, but a broken heart is still a beating one, so go ahead. Read it. Read it right now and fall in love.
