Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes, discover the love story that captured over 20 million hearts in Me Before You, After You, and Still Me.

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 and perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, 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?

    This book has so many emotions in it! I have never wanted to read a book so fast but yet enjoy it slowly. Moyes is a WONDERFUL writer. I really felt everything Louisa was feeling towards Will. The movie was great as well. Portrayed wonderfully & loved seeing the characters come to life & fulfill the amazing promise of the book😋

    This always has been my favorite book. You will laugh, you will cry, just as if you are there with them.

    We’ll written, enticing, emotional… The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was for several unrealistic details that bothered me (like watching an action movie set in 2022 where they never use cell phones).

    I ugly cried in the end. I have yet to become so attached to a character that the mere thought of them has made me cry. It wasn’t your typical love and romance story. I admired the authors dedication to the development of Will and Lou’s relationship. I also liked the chapters where we experienced the story from a different perspective than that of Lou, it helped with understanding where Will’s head was at, as well as reminding us that these were people trying to be there for a person they cared about. Beautiful
