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 never 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?

Wreszcie poznałam książkową wersję tej historii. Wcześniej widziałam film, który mnie urzekł i sprawił, że zapragnęłam przeczytać książkę. I nie żałuję ani minuty spędzonej przy lekturze. Chyba już każdy wie, o czym jest ta książka. Główna bohaterka, Lou, dostaje pracę jako opiekunka osoby niepełn...
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 ...
I loved this book so much it made me cry at the end, I didn't want it to be over. I would definitely recommend to family and friends
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...
