This book was a suggested title for the "Star-Crossed Lovers" theme of week one of the Albany Public Library Summer Reading Challenge. I would probably not have chosen this book of my own volition. Will Traynor was once a high-powered business guy based in London, making stacks of money buying and...
Well, I'm truly conflicted on this one. While it was a good read, and I enjoyed the characters, and ok, I love Will a little bit, I was left feeling a bit off at the wrap up of it all.The scenes that wrapped the book were well written, but as I got closer, I realized that they weren't what I wanted ...
There's more to this post than JUST the review, but the content ties into why I enjoyed the book. The story itself was sweet and simple, if a bit predictable. I found Treena and Pat, particularly, really irritating and self-centered. Lou was decent but cliché. Will was depressing, but I don't mind a...
Ugh, this book, I wanted to like it, I wanted it to be great and I had hope because everyone goes on about it. However I just really couldn’t get into it. On the positive side, I liked Louisa’s family, they felt realistic, they weren’t perfect but they felt like they could be real people. I also fou...
'I stared at my calendar, the pen stilled in my hand. This little patch of laminated paper suddenly bore a whole heap of responsibility. I had a hundred and seventeen days in which to convince Will Traynor that he had a reason to live.' Lou Clark knows a lot of things. She knows how many footstep...
I liked this book. I liked Lou, but at some point, I also hated her. She made stupid decisions and she naively thinks she can make Will change his mind. Will is an ass, but he is also a intriguing and mysterious character. The plot was predictable, really really predictable. But it was still great...

I wanted to give the clueless, self-absorbed "heroine" a slap upside the head throughout most of this book. How does she think that making decisions for someone is going to help a person whose chief issue is having lost all control over his own life? Still, it was an entertaining read, and the aud...
So my name finally came up on the hold list at the library for "Me Before You," and I read it in a Saturday-afternoon marathon. First, it's not a super-literary book; for me, it's more categorizable as "popular fiction." (Yes, I'm thinking of Jennifer Weiner's wonderful arguments about how women's...
