“I had a hundred and seventeen days in which to convince Will Traynor that he had a reason to live.”.

“Sometimes Clark, you are pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning.”.

Some of my favorite lines from “Me Before You” Jojo Moyes has done a really good job and i don’t have a single criticism to make. Honestly it gives you a lot to think about. Cried my eyes out at the end, but still would highly recommend this lovely book. To sum all my thoughts, it was a tearjerker, I cared deeply about Will and Lou, Reading about them made me happy and I couldn’t put this story down. However, unexpectedly i finished Me before you within one day and enjoyed every bit of it. I remember reading “The peacock emporium” and “ Sheltering rain“, it took me almost a month to finish both of them. I am glad this time Moyes had something different to share. The pace of the book is smooth, leaving out unnecessary details, which is quite unlike Jojo Moyes. Moyes does a magnificent job of conjuring a cast of characters who are so charismatic and compelling. You learn that sometimes you cannot change people no matter what. You experience world from the eyes of Will Traynor, who is a quadriplegic.

You get to learn about realities of life.

It is not a conventional romance with an expected ending of “living happily ever after”. With humor but also moments of intense poignancy, Moyes captures the reader from page one. For many reasons you will remember this book for a long time. Moving to the story, Me before you presents a different perspective. Neither of them wanted to be together for a while but than their forced proximity allows them to reassess. Since being hit by a motorcycle he has spent the last two years confined to a wheelchair unable to walk or even feed himself. Lou is twenty-six and lives with her parents, grandfather and her single-mother sister Treena. Will Traynor was a businessman/ playboy/ adventurer who climbed mountains and bungee-jumped in his free time. Jojo Moyes, an acclaimed author, knows how to pull emotions out of her readers.

They were unaware that they were going to change each other for lifetime. Louisa Clark ( known as Lou), just an ordinary girl, and Will Traynor, a powerful and charismatic businessman, didn’t know that soon there paths are going to cross. It is a book that evinces how one person can change the way you think, act and believe. “Me before you” is funny, hopeful and heartbreaking. This book gave me an emotional break down at so many points. Trust me, my choice couldn’t have been better. After giving myself a break of 2 months, i finally decided to read a book.
