Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Web ID: 1067190Enjoyed the book
Me Before You is the first book in the series, but I had previously read book 2 and knew how this book would end. Even though I knew the outcome, the path to the end was still very interesting. I enjoyed this book, even though the main topic was depressing. I do have to say that I really struggled in the first part of the book where Louisa’s family was really not very nice or supportive of her. Some of the things they said to her were downright rude. However, I enjoyed the transformation of both Louisa and Will during the course of the book. I did enjoy book 2 (After You) a bit more, but book 1 gives you a lot of background that helps to better understand Louisa’s character as well as her family’s dynamics. I would recommend.

Good Title, Even Better Book!
Lou, a quirky, cheerful, and relatable character in need of a job to support her family encounters an ad posting in need of a caregiver. She decided to step out of her comfort zone and accept the job with little experience dealing with people paralyzed from the neck down. Little did she know she would end up meeting a witty, sarcastic, handsome young man who would change her life forever. I would definitely recommend this book because it is so descriptive and you can feel what the characters are going through. Reading this, I was able to feel the brightness coming off of Lou, but it also shows her other emotions, which I think is pretty cool. I found myself crying, smiling, and laughing at different times in the book as well. I really enjoyed watching the movie after reading the book! I still think the book is better, but the movie is done very well and gives you a great visual for the scenes.

A must read!
I laughed and I cried. A quirky uneventful girl cares for a previous daredevil who used to be quite the bachelor and I love how determined she is to change his mindset and outlook on life now that he’s a quadriplegic. I couldn’t put the book down and finished it in 2 days! I do wish the author did a chapter from his perspective like he did with some of the other characters, I would have loved to know his raw thoughts and perspective on certain situations. Overall an amazing read!!

Loved the beginning. Loved the middle. Hate the en
I thoroughly enjoyed about 95% of this book. It was funny, gritty, and real. The remaining 5%... I have a like/hate relationship with. It's a touchy subject, and I really wish things would have gone differently for our main characters. With that being said, the story was highly entertaining while still giving you a dose of the reality these people are trying to survive.
