Her books include the bestsellers Me Before You, After You and Still Me, The Girl You Left Behind, The One Plus One and her short story collection Paris for One and Other Stories. Wordsopedia Rating 4.5/5 Title: Me Before You It is a happy ending, and yet in a few ways it is not… Me Before You is an unforgettable book, giving a different perspective to life and reminding us not to judge others because of their decisions. Though heartbreaking, it was more meaningful and sensible. And even though Will’s and Lou’s story didn’t end the way I wanted it to, it was strangely satisfying. Throughout the book, I felt Moyes was pushing the reader towards an optimistic ending. Will’s mum is frosty and yet supports her son in his decision despite hoping for a change. Even though fictional, Lou’s family is like the family next door. Every character in this story spoke to me in their own unique way. It is not a love based on physical attraction or sex and even so, it is sweet and subtle. Despite his disability, and associated complications he doesn’t come across as a weak character. It was difficult and draining to see Will struggle, but his tenacity and will is inspiring. Lou’s optimism, insecurities, and kindness bring her closer to the reader. They are funny, sad, witty, rude, and even erratic.I absolutely loved Lou and Will. Their fears, hopes and traits are brought out exceedingly well. Similar is the turmoil the characters in Me Before You undergo.īoth the main protagonists Louisa and Will are well drawn. Whether be it life or death, making the choice and dealing with the consequences is not always easy.
Moyes writing makes one pause and reflect on the experience called life! Life is filed with grey there’s no clear black or white response in every situation. I laughed, I cried, I prayed and hoped for Louand Will to have a happy ending but then there is no standard definition of happiness isn’t it!? There were so many sad moments in this book, and yet an equal number of incidents which made me chuckle. Moyes’s writing is beautiful, and the story is deeply moving, revolving around a sensitive topic. It’s the story of love, longing, and acceptance.įor the first time, I am struggling to write a review. It isn’t just a story of a boy and girl falling in love. It is the first book in the trilogy written by Jojo Moyes. Me Before You is an emotional and achingly beautiful experience.
