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?
An intense, well written book with memorable characters. This was my first Jojo Moyes book but now I am a fan. (Ellie Miller 10:20am February 26, 2016)
