Me Before You by Jojo Moyes Review

"The beloved New York Times bestseller—with more than five million copies sold. The stunning sequel, After You, is available now.

Soon to be a major motion picture with US release on June 3, 2016.


They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . .

Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their 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 now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.

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, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.

A Love Story for this generation, 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?" -Amazon Description

I was late to this book which was a New York Bestseller in 2013 and is soon to be released as a film. I will post a film trailer below. I don't know if my aunt Flows monthly visit had anything to do with my face being a chocolate and crying slobbery mess after reading this book or not, but either way I enjoyed this book. There were things that I could totally relate to the main character and some things not so much. I know what it is like to walk into a medical taking care of someone situation and feeling completely not cut out for it. It is a terrifying feeling and the way it was handled in the book was funny. This book is full of the feels but still has a good amount of humor. I just found out that there is a sequel and cannot wait to read it. 
 
I may have pictured the characters differently and the tone of the book but this looks like some girl time fun.
