Me Before You (Me Before You #1) by Jojo Moyes
Published by: Viking
Genre: Contemporary, Romance
Rating: *****
Warning: This book is a tear-jerker.
Me Before You is a heartstring-tugging book that will make any reader sob as they reach the final pages.
Lou Clark isn't the sharpest tool in the box nor is she one for wanting to leave her hometown. Instead she's content with working the same job she's had for years, serving coffee in an old cafe and knowing that she'll probably never marry her longtime boyfriend. She's so very different from any female lead than I've had the privilege of reading and that's why I felt even more drawn to this book.
Will Traynor on the otherhand has had the time, money and privilege to leave his hometown and do what he wanted before the accident. Something that left him permanently disabled and in need of someone to look after him.
But there's more to the story. Lou has barely six months to try and cheer Will up and see if he might change his mind about Dignitas.
Me Before You is a story about two individuals who want the other's circumstances to be different. Its a story that will change the world of anyone who reads it. I cannot get over it and nor can I forget suppressing tears on the bus home from work.
The book can be bought from any major retailers especially since the film adaptation will be out in cinemas soon.
